Post doctoral position in statistical modelling of infectious disease dynamics The Stephens lab at Oklahoma State University (Stillwater OK) has a post-doctoral position to create statistical models of large scale infectious disease dynamics available. The position will involve comparing and contrasting the influence of eco-environmental factors (e.g., temperature, rainfall, mammalian host diversity) and socioeconomic factors (e.g., human population density, poverty, health care infrastructure) on infectious disease outbreak risk and outcomes. Specific projects include variation in realized case numbers of COVID-19 and other respiratory disease in Oklahoma, and outbreaks of filoviruses (Ebola and Marburg) in sub-Saharan Africa. I am looking for individuals with proficiency in R, statistical modelling (especially ensemble machine learning methods like boosted regression trees), and GIS. The starting salary will be $58,000, which is enough to live quite well here in Stillwater.
