We are seeking a Research Fellow to join a new group within the Centre for Epidemic Research and Modelling (CERM) at Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health at the National University of Singapore (NUS) led by Professor Azra Ghani.

You will lead research in the development and application of within-host mathematical models to understand the long-term dynamics of natural- and vaccine-induced immunity to pathogens. You will be responsible for developing a suite of within-host mathematical models of that can be used to test hypotheses regarding the durability of acquired immunity through natural infection, vaccination or in combination (i.e. hybrid immunity).

This new project forms part of a wider multi-country collaborative initiative that is seeking to develop novel, high-throughput immunological assays to improve surveillance of spillover of viral families of pandemic potential. This includes teams from Singapore (NUS, Duke-NUS, EBI/A*Star), Vietnam (Oxford University Clinical Research Unit, National Institute of Hygiene & Epidemiology), Cambodia (Institut Pasteur) and the UK (University of Oxford & Imperial College London).

You will work closely with the modelling team in this initiative at NUS (directed by Dr Hannah Clapham) and at Imperial College London / Imperial Global Singapore (directed by Professor Azra Ghani).

Alongside the project-specific team, the postholder will benefit from joining a vibrant, established team of mathematical modellers and epidemiologists at CERM with strong collaborative links within Singapore and across the wider region.
