Post-Doctoral Research Associate - Cas Math Bio Synthesis Center

Applications are currently being solicited for a post-doctoral research associate in the area of mathematical and computational modeling of epidemiological risk in wildlife trade networks in the Fefferman Lab at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.

The work will involve modeling, focusing on network and game theoretic models. An ideal candidate would have some experience in computational simulation, mathematical models of infectious disease epidemiology, and network theory, and be fluent in a computational programming language such as Matlab, R, or Python. A candidate should be comfortable with a variety of modeling techniques and willing to learn new areas of modeling application in collaboration with interdisciplinary research teams.

The researcher will be expected to help formulate models, code simulations, analyze results, take a primary role in preparing manuscripts for publication, contribute to a collaborative research group environment, and participate in preparation of new grant proposals.
