  The Basque Centre for Applied Mathematics (BCAM), together with Ikerbasque, invites applications for one Group Leader position in Mathematical Modelling applied to Health. This Group Leader call offers a permanent research position for a Group Leader willing to develop a long-term scientific career in the Basque Country. This call is open to both:

  • young group leaders
  • senior experienced group leaders.

  The evaluation committee will consider the strongest candidates with excellent leadership capabilities and an outstanding research record. The selected candidate is expected to perform independent research and coordinate the activities the center is performing in mathematical modelling applied to health in collaboration with Basque health institutions with the support of the Basque Government under a specific project. This is an ambitious project with research focused on applied mathematics, addressing fundamental questions in public health epidemiology (including surveillance), health system management and personalised medicine. The project covers research areas from Data Science and Artificial Intelligence to Mathematical Biology or Epidemiology and Biofluid Dynamics (of infectious diseases, including but not limited to COVID-19).

  
  Candidates are required to be able to develop not only methodological research but also multidisciplinary applications in collaboration with research centers, health institutions, hospitals. The candidate should be capable of promoting international collaborations, attracting competitive funding and establishing his/her own research groups.

   

  Candidates should provide:

   

  • CV
  • Letter of interest, including your research interest.
  • 2 recommendation letters (additional references may be requested during the evaluation)
  • Statement of past experience (2-3 pages). Please, highlight your main results.

  
  

  Only researchers with a strong record of research will be considered. Women candidates are especially welcome. Applicants should be fluent in English. Knowledge of Spanish and/or Basque will be considered useful but is not compulsory. 

  
  For more information, please contact recruitment@bcamath.org  

  
  All applicants are invited to submit their application on-line at: http://www.bcamath.org/en/research/job

  RA or Postdoc on modeling COVID-19 for applied public health: focus on epidemiological data

  We have several positions open, along the following directions on modeling for applied public health:

  1. screening (you’ll need experience with networks and mathematical modeling)
  2. space (you’ll need experience with metapopulation modeling and inference)
  3. epidemiological data (you’ll need experience with field data and statistical models)
  4. mobility (you'll need experience with different types of mobility data, and statistical models)

  Overall, you want to have experience with mathematical and/or statistical modeling for infectious disease epidemics. And of course, experience in programming, numerical simulations, networks. You also love working with empirical data.
  Please let us know in your cover letter what experience you'll bring to the lab. Positions are for 1 year, renewable. Starting date as soon as possible.

  Project (1) is in collaboration with Alain Barrat (CNRS, Marseille). There is also a twin open position at Alain Barrat's lab in Marseille. Projects (2) and (4) are in collaboration with Stefania Rubrichi (Orange). Project (3) is in collaboration with local authorities in France.

  All our work on COVID-19 is listed here: https://www.epicx-lab.com/covid-19.html
  We have been active since January 2020 to provide regular reports on the ongoing situation and to respond to specific needs/questions of public health agencies and health authorities, with whom we work in close collaboration. These projects continue this activity. Our scientific production on COVID-19 can be found in our publications page: https://www.epicx-lab.com/papers.html

  I have funding for a PhD student to join my research group in the Department of Mathematics at City, University of London. The student will pursue projects aligned with my research themes as part of the international Arizona Cancer Evolution Center (ACE; https://cancer-insights.asu.edu), which unites cancer evolution experts in London, the US, Switzerland and elsewhere. These research themes include dynamics of somatic evolution, forecasting tumour evolution, evolutionarily-informed cancer therapy (including adaptive therapy), and the evolution of cancer risk, as described at https://robjohnnoble.github.io/research.

  
  

  I’m looking for a student who has (or will soon have) a good honours degree in mathematics, physics, computational biology or another scientific discipline that has equipped them with strong analytical skills, and who is enthusiastic about applying those skills to answering important biological and clinical questions. Demonstrated mathematical modelling capability, relevant biological knowledge, and programming experience (e.g. in C, Python, R or Matlab) are highly desirable.

  
  

  Funding includes a three-year stipend (to cover living expenses), a computer, and support for travelling to conferences. The full tuition fee will be funded for UK students and for EU students who either have or can attain settled status in the UK. International applicants are encouraged to apply and should mention whether they have means to cover the difference between the international and UK/EU tuition fees.

  
  

  Interested candidates should email me a cover letter (one page), CV, transcripts, and the names of two references. The position will remain available until filled, with an initial application deadline of 15th March 2021. The latest preferred starting date is July 2021. Prospective students should feel free to email me questions.
