The project:
The Center for Mathematical Modelling in Medical Sciences (CeMMS) was established in the context of the initiative to strengthen modelling competence for the spread of serious infectious diseases by the German Ministry for Education and Science. The impetus for this initiative sourced from the COVID-19 pandemic. CeMMS also receives funding through the Federal State of Saxony-Anhalt to improve pandemic preparedness. Beyond computational epidemiology for infectious diseases, the center will address questions of computational biology with intra-host or cellular processes and signaling networks, and decision-analytic modeling. We are a highly motivated multidisciplinary team building a creative environment with unique developmental perspective and seek candidates who share the vision.

Tasks:
• Scientific work in the field of mathematical modeling
• Writing grant proposals for external funding
• Reporting and publication of study results
• Opportunity for further academic qualification (Dr. rer. medic.) is given
