We are seeking for an enthusiastic and productive team member, with experience in mathematical modelling of infectious diseases. The postholder will have an interest in learning new skills and in working with colleagues from a range of backgrounds to advance the research agenda on sexually transmitted infections (STI) in England and worldwide.

The postholder will join a supportive team and will be directly responsible for developing and using mathematical models to understand the potential impact of a range of innovative approaches to reduce the burden of morbidity and mortality due to Syphilis and other STIs.

The successful candidate will have a postgraduate degree, ideally a doctoral degree, in a relevant topic and relevant experience in the development, fitting and calibration of mathematical models of infectious diseases including their use to evaluate the potential, and real-world impact of interventions. Experience in reviewing non-modelling literature to develop and parameterise models, and of undertaking statistical analyses of epidemiological data sets are also essential to the role. Further particulars are included in the job description.

The post is full-time 35 hours per week, 1.0 FTE and fixed term until 31 August 2029. The post is funded by the NIHR and is available from 01 September 2026.
