You will contribute to an international collaborative project entitled
"Multi-scale infection dynamics from cells to landscapes: FMD in
African buffalo", working with Prof Roman Biek. This innovative
NSF/BBSRC-funded project uses foot-and-mouth-disease virus (FMDV) in
African buffalo as a model to understand how phenotypic variation within
virus species can explain the spread, persistence, and co-existence of
viral variants. Your role will be to process virus sequence data and
to contribute phylodynamic analyses and models to test how variation
among variants scales up to structure viral diversity at the landscape
scale, working closely with collaborators at the U Warwick (mathematical
modelling) and Pirbright (virology) in the UK as well as collaborators in
the USA and South Africa. The successful candidate will also be expected
to contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications
and research proposals as well as help manage and direct this complex
and challenging project.
