RESEARCH ASSOCIATE IN BIOLOGY

The Department of Biology at the University of Virginia invites
applications for a postdoctoral position under the mentorship of
Prof. Nicholas Landry. This interdisciplinary position is well-suited
for an evolutionary biologist with expertise in mathematical modeling
of evolutionary processes, network science (phylogenetic trees,
population-level interactions, etc.), and programming in Python or a
similar language.

The successful candidate will collaborate with faculty in the Department
of Biology and also work closely with researchers at the Biocomplexity
Institute, the Quantitative Collaborative, and the School of Data Science
at UVA.

The successful candidate will study the spread of contagion on networks
through the following focus areas:

* Developing mathematical models that simulate the spread of diseases,
behaviors, or ideas within biological and social networks, particularly
those mediated by group interactions.

* Reconstructing networks from incomplete or noisy data.

* Exploring the role of group structure in the spread of diseases and
information.

* Contributing to the development of open-source Python tools that will
support research in contagion and network science.

The successful candidate will have the flexibility to pursue independent
research questions within this broad framework, allowing for significant
intellectual freedom.

The deadline is October 15th and please apply at
