Post doc Netherland
In a co-operative project between University of Utrecht and the
Netherlands Institute of Ecology there is a vacancy for a
postdoc on behaviour-based and epidemiological modeling of avian influenza
in populations of migratory birds
The postdoc will be working on the project Combining behaviour-based
and epidemiological models to identity the role of Arctic breeding
migratory birds in the ecology of diseases, notably Avian Influenzaâ€
within the Theoretical Epidemiology group of the Department of Farm
Animal Health, University of Utrecht. Detailed information on this
vacancy can be obtained at http://www.nioo.knaw.nl/JOBS/indexNL.htm
<http://www.nioo.knaw.nl/JOBS/indexNL.htm>
The project is funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific
Research NWO (Earth and Life Sciences) in its International Polar Year
program. The work will be conducted in close co-operation with the
department of Plant-Animal interactions of the Netherlands Institute of
Ecology, the Department of Virology of Erasmus University - Rotterdam,
and the Arctic Centre - Groningen University. The project is part of a
suite of projects called BIRDHEALTH.
We are looking for an enthusiastic candidate with a PhD degree in
the field of population biology or epidemiology. You have substantial
experience in mathematical modeling, preferably within the field of
epidemiology or metapopulation dynamics. Because of the multidisciplinary
character of the parent project you should be able to collaborate closely
with epidemiologists, virologists, waterfowl and behavioural ecologists
and theoreticians. You have good communication and writing skills,
especially in English, and are a good player in a team of PhD-students
and postdocs.
There is a possibility to transform the project into a regular 4 year PhD
position, but only if there is a talented student with proven substantial
experience in epidemiological modelling.
We offer a temporary full time appointment of maximally 3 years. The
gross income is dependent on age and experience, but is between €
2252,-and € 3239,-(salary scale 10 Collaborative Labour Agreement of
the Dutch Universities) for a full time position.

at the Faculty for Veterinary Medicine, Theoretical Epidemiology,
