Post-doctoral position available for agent based modeling of infection
transmission:
The Center for Advancing Microbial Risk Assessment (CAMRA) is an
interdisciplinary collaboration of diverse scientist from institutions
across the US. Environmental Microbiologists, epidemiologists, information
scientists, sociologists, modelers, and other scientists work jointly to
understand how infection gets from one person to another and how different
mechanisms of transmission determine the shapes of networks through which
infection flows. Joe Eisenberg and Jim Koopman in the Epidemiology Dept. at
the University of Michigan contribute to CAMRA by developing and analyzing
population level transmission models that encompass models of social
settings where transmission can take place through air, skin to skin contact
between individuals, inanimate objects (fomites) or combinations of these.
We also model how different social settings where infection transmission can
occur get linked into infection transmission systems. We are looking for a
post-doc with a primary interest in agent based modeling of social processes
and with skills in programming such models, especially using RePast. This
post-doc position would conform to governmental guidelines for support of
post-docs but details are negotiable. This position would link this
post-doc to a variety of institutions and disciplines providing broad
potential for career advancement. It would include collaborations at
Michigan's Center for the Study of Complex Systems.
Would someone please let me know if this was posted.
