**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.

TipESM is funded by the European Union, Horizon Europe Funding Programme for research and innovation under GA Nr. 101137673.

**Lugar**:
Barcelona

**What We Are Looking for**:
This position is funded by TipESM, a project funded by the European Union. TipESM is funded by the European Union, Horizon Europe Funding Programme for research and innovation under GA Nr. 101137673.

**About the postdoctoral position**:

- Zoonotic spillovers where pathogens jump across species are responsible for major human pandemics, such as the recent SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible of COVID-19 or the influenza A(H1N1) virus responsible for the 1918 “Spanish flu” pandemic. Understanding the factors responsible for these cross-species transmissions is a current topic of intense research. Recently, it has been demonstrated how the increased human pressure on otherwise pristine tropical rainforest ecosystems through deforestation, increase urbanisation in forested areas and the rising pressure of climate change is making those potential human-animal encounters more likely, long-lasting and frequent. The overall work we are conducting within the EU-funded TipESM project is seeking to undertand how collapses in the main Earth's - biodiversity hotspots due to global warming may influence those events.
- 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 interventions using deterministic models, stochastic compartmental models, and individual-based models.
- Use simulations from an ecosystem model of the Amazon to feed mathematical disease models or ecological niche models.
- Develop new 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.

**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.

**TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE /QUALIFICATIONS**:

- A Ph.D. degree in a quantitatively-oriented field, such as mathematical epidemiology, theoretical physics, or applied mathematics from a reputable and ranked western institution.
- 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.

**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.

- Proficient in English, at least C1 level

**Conditions**:

- Duration: 2 years
- Starting date: March 1, 2024
- Contract: Full-time
- Salary Range: Salary is commensurate with spanish standards and o
