Are you looking for a research position in infectious disease modeling of zoonotic pathogens? Are you interested in mathematical modeling and data science? Do you want to work on an interdisciplinary team and contribute to outbreak preparedness and response in the Netherlands? We would like to get in contact with you.

We are looking for two researchers in infectious disease modeling and data science to join the modelling and inference teams within that Wageningen University and Research (WUR) Pandemic Preparedness Program (ERRAZE). In this program you will work together with ecologists, epidemiologists, data scientists, and social scientists. In the first project, you will co-develop a flexible and actionable framework to create and validate models for a range of (re)emerging zoonotic pathogens in The Netherlands. For the second position, you will use model-based inference tools to quantify the transmission processes that underlie avian influenza transmission between wild and held populations.
