Deadline: The position may have been removed or expired!

The Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH) is a world-leading institute in global health with a particular focus on low- and middle-income countries. Associated with the University of Basel, Swiss TPH combines research, services, and education and training at the local, national, and international level. About 850 people from more than 80 nations work at Swiss TPH focusing on infectious and non-communicable diseases, environment, society, and health as well as health systems and interventions.
The Department of Epidemiology and Public Health (EPH), within the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, develops and applies epidemiological, statistical and mathematical methods to advance innovation, validation, and application in the field of public health. Within the Disease Modelling Unit of the EPH we are looking for:

We are seeking two postdoctoral scientists for several exciting opportunities to develop models of within-host and population dynamics of pathogens and resistance (parasite or viral dynamics). The successful candidates will join a globally leading team of scientists with established expertise notably in malaria and COVID-19 modeling.
There are many issues concerning the assessment of new interventions, control and elimination of parasites or viral disease that can only be answered through quantitative analysis, disease modelling and simulation.
The successful candidates will join a multidisciplinary team, providing evidence to decision-makers.
The positions are linked to the Swiss National Science Foundation Professorship of Melissa Penny on multi-scale mathematical modelling of pathogen, drug and vaccine interactions.
