**Descripción**:
The Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) is a cutting-edge institute addressing global public health challenges through research, translation into policy and education. ISGlobal has a broad portfolio in communicable and non-communicable diseases including environmental and climate determinants, and applies a multidisciplinary scientific approach ranging from the molecular to the population level. Research is organized in five programs: Climate, Air Pollution, Nature and Urban Health; Environment and Health over the Lifecourse; Global Viral and Bacterial Infections; Malaria and Neglected Parasitic Diseases and Maternal Child and Reproductive Health. ISGlobal is accredited with the Severo Ochoa distinction, a seal of excellence of the Spanish Science Ministry.
**Lugar**:
Barcelona
**What We Are Looking for**:
**Project Code: ARBOTHAI Multi-scale seamless prediction of arboviral outbreaks in Thailand WELLCOME TRUST Grant Number UNS138749.**
**About the postdoctoral position**:
At a time when Bangladesh and Brazil are facing dengue epidemics on an unprecedented scale, the question of monitoring and controlling arboviral diseases has never seemed so urgent in endemic regions. Arboviral diseases are seen to be strongly conditioned by climate, essentially through the modulation of the vector population and the vectorial capacity. Skill exists for these diseases and regions and it can be incorporated into actionable alert systems for enhanced seasonal incidences.
Similarly, recent studies published point to a contraction of malaria-prone regions in Africa due to the future rising in continental temperatures beyond the optimal conditions for vector liveability. The studies to be conducted aim to either challenge those results or eventually confirm.
**This recruitment targets the following specific directions**:
- Develop mathematical models describing disease dynamics and the impact of climate variability and change, socioeconomic, demographic and environmental determinants in the evolution of seasonal to interannual arboviral epidemics (dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya and zika).
- Use simulations of interventions (e.g. mosquito control) to feed mathematical disease models.
- Develop new simulations for future projections for malaria changes in Africa under different global warming scenarios.
- Review and validate different approaches and existing models.
- Publish research findings in scientific journals and present them at major medical/scientific meetings.
**TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE /QUALIFICATIONS**:
- A Ph.D. degree in a quantitatively-oriented field, such as mathematical epidemiology, theoretical physics, or applied mathematics.
- Robust research experience in mathematical modelling and building different kinds of models.
- Experience in analytical and quantitative methods, such as deterministic and stochastic differential equations, integral equations, nonlinear dynamics, probability theory, and stochastic processes.
- Extensive experience in scientific computing involving programming, numerical analysis, symbolic and logical analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, and computer graphics.
- Experience in Matlab, Mathematica, Python and R
- Experience with statistical data analysis of large databases.
**KEY RESPONSIBILITIES**:
This job description reflects the present requirements of the post but may evolve at any time in the future as duties and responsibilities change and/or develop providing there is appropriate consultation with the post-holder.
**SKILLS**:
- Basic knowledge in climatology and ecology;
- Very good programming skills (e.g., Python, R, Matlab, C/C++, Fortran in the Linux environment) and experience in big data analytics are required;
- Cutting-edge expertise in modeling and statistical analyses;
- Proven abilities to publish at a high international level;
- Good oral and written communication skills in spoken and written English;
- Rigor, autonomy and abilities to work in a team environment.
The post holder will adhere to ISGlobal principles contained in People management policy, including Equity, diversity and health safety. The post holder will respect, and accountable to ensure ISGlobal policies and procedures.
**LANGUAGE LEVEL**:
- Proficient in English, at least C1 level.
**CONDITIONS**:
- Duration: 2 years
- Starting date: As soon as filled
- Contract: Full-time
- Salary Range: Salary is commensurate with spanish standards and offered at the ISGlobal Postdoctoral level A or B depending on the qualifications.
- You will have up to 30 days of annual leave + 15 days « Reduction of Working Time ». You can benefit of teleworking hybrid system (weekly presence requested).
**HOW TO APPLY**:
+CV with academic qualifications and publication list.
+Copy of doctoral degree certificate and other relevant degree certificates.
+Contact information to three reference persons.
