  • Ecoinformatics of emerging pathogens: a study exploring large scale geographic and evolutionary patterns in macroepidemiology. PI: John Gittleman (ecohead@uga.edu)
  • Multi-scale modeling of pathogen dynamics within and between hosts, focusing on influenza and tuberculosis. PI: Andreas Handel (andreas.handel@gmail.com)
  • Space-time dynamics of vector-borne pathogens: a geostatistical study of West Nile virus in New York City. PI: John Drake (jdrake@uga.edu)
Successful applicants may have experience in any of the quantitative sciences, including mathematics, physics, statistics or biostatistics, ecology, evolutionary biology, or computer science. Positions are for 1-3 years, with salaries ranging from $35,000-$42,000 per year (depending on experience), plus health and retirement benefits.
