We invite applications for a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship in Professor Blower’s research group in the Biomedical Modeling Center at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. We are looking for individuals who are interested in working with a team of researchers at UCLA, Columbia University, and Partners in Health in Malawi (Abwenzi Pa Za Umoyo) on an NIH-funded grant focused on using data-intensive mathematical and computational models to design optimal strategies that will ensure equity in access to HIV treatment in sub-Saharan Africa. The fellows will focus on geostatistical analysis and geospatial modeling of spatially-explicit treatment data, population-level georeferenced linked HIV-testing and behavioral data, and mobility/migration/travel data. The projects will involve travel to Malawi. Applicants must have expertise in spatial statistics, health geographics, theoretical ecology, operations research, or geospatial modeling. Previous experience in modeling HIV is not necessary.
The salary is $60,000 plus fringe benefits. Starting date is negotiable.
To apply for this position, please contact Professor Sally Blower at sally.blower@gmail.com Applicants should send a cover letter, a detailed CV, a brief statement of research interests, and the names (and email addresses) of three references. The cover letter should also include the possible starting date. Review of applications will start immediately and continue until the posts have been filled.
