The Kirby Institute for Infection and Immunity in Society
UNSW Medicine
Ref 499735
This post-doctoral position is based at the Kirby Institute in UNSW, which is a leading global research institute dedicated to the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. This work sits within The Infection Analytics Program (IAP) which uses mathematical and computational approaches to better understand immunity to major infectious disease threats such as HIV and malaria.
The successful candidate will develop and use mathematical models to interpret experimental and clinical data to help understand the dynamics of host-viral interactions in HIV infection (animal and human). To succeed in this position you will develop familiarity with the HIV literature and the underlying biology, be able to analyse experimental data using biostatistical analysis, ODE and stochastic modelling and be able to use hypothesis testing to address the underlying mechanisms of infection and immunity.
This is an interdisciplinary field that applies techniques of computer science, applied mathematics, and statistics to address biological problems, hence you will not only have skills to create and analyse mathematical models but at the same time understand the models from a scientific perspective.
You must systematically address each of the following skills in the cover letter of your application. Applications that do not address these skills will not be considered. Reference to specific examples highlighting your skills is strongly encouraged.
You should systematically address all the selection criteria in your application. Please also provide a copy of your undergraduate transcript where available.
