Six Postdocs in Evolutionary Epidemiology

The Theoretical Epidemiology and Evolutionary Biology groups at Instituto
Gulbenkian de Ciência (Lisbon) announce a collaborative programme at the
interface between the two research areas.


The present call is for 6 Postdoctoral Fellows for an initial period of one
year to develop theoretical models of molecular evolution and population
dynamics as a motor for hypothesis-driven epidemiological research. Diseases
of interest include influenza, bacterial meningitis, tuberculosis, malaria
and cancer. The positions are funded by a Marie Curie Excellence Grant.


Applicants should hold a PhD in mathematical or biological sciences, in a
broad sense, experience in molecular evolution, population dynamics,
statistical epidemiology or bioinformatics. Familiarity with high-level
computer languages is required. For further details visit www.igc.gulbenkian.pt


Applications, including research interests, CV, and three letters of
reference should be sent to ggomes@igc.gulbenkian.pt.


Deadline for applications: September 7, 2007, or until the positions are filled.
