The Lofgren Lab at WSU is looking for two postdocs to work on modeling the dynamics of healthcare associated infections

The Lofgren Lab in the Paul G. Allen School for Global Animal Health at Washington State University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to support an ongoing research project on the dynamics of healthcare-associated infections as part of a CDC-funded project. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will have access to an extensive infection surveillance database and will be working with a diverse team of biomedical and computer science researchers working to understand how the stochastic dynamics of infections within hospitals impacts surveillance, intervention evaluation, and clinical care.

Responsibilities of the position include the mentoring of graduate and undergraduate students in the lab; the analysis of datasets; the design, implementation, and analysis of mathematical models of disease transmission; and the preparation of manuscripts and conference abstracts. The specific focus of the Postdoctoral Research Associate can be tailored to their interests and expertise but will likely include the implementation and analysis of stochastic network models of disease transmission addressing a broad range of clinically-driven questions, including surface decontamination, hand hygiene, antimicrobial stewardship, and active surveillance.

Interested applicants should apply at https://www.wsujobs.com/postings/36828 and should feel free to contact Dr. Lofgren (Eric.Lofgren@wsu.edu) for more information.

Applicant screening will begin March 15, 2018 and will last until the positions are filled.
