We are looking to to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Associate / Research Fellow to participate in a Human Frontiers Science Program funded research project to investigate the association between olfactory immune modulation and anthropophilic preferences in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and its consequence for the epidemiology of arboviral diseases, such as dengue and Zika. The successful applicant will be supporting the development of an evolutionary modelling framework to investigate the implications for odour-associated mosquito traits on arboviral disease emergence. Using a variety of modelling approaches, from ODE to spatially-explicit agent-based, the aim of this project will be to elucidate the ecological conditions that have selected mosquito traits, which underlie their preference for human blood whilst simultaneously affecting mosquito fitness and their susceptibility to and transmissibility of arboviruses. The successful candidate will work close collaboration with empirical scientists and project partners based in India, France and Canada.
