We are seeking to hire a full-time Postdoctoral researcher to lead and contribute to multiple research projects relating to climate and infectious diseases at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
The Malaria Research Lab in the Center for Vaccine Development is seeking a qualified Postdoctoral Fellow to work on research investigating the impact of climate change on vector-borne diseases, resilience against climate change in the context of infectious diseases, and the long-term impact of exposure to infectious diseases. Funding is available for up to three years with a start date starting in Summer of 2024.
The ideal candidate would possess skills in advanced statistical modeling, working with multi-dimensional datasets, project management, and expertise in either infectious diseases, spatial modeling, or climate science. We are looking for someone with an interest in climate and health and a willingness to work in the field in diverse international research settings. This position would provide opportunities to learn novel statistical methods, climate science, and gain experience working in international public health research in the field.
The Center for Vaccine Development is a collaborative, multidisciplinary research environment engaged in infectious disease research. Researchers work in everything from basic laboratory research through vaccine development, pre-clinical and clinical evaluation, large-scale pre-licensure field studies, and post-licensure assessments. Training is a critical component of our work to ensure the foundation for the next generation of scientists and researchers committed to global health initiatives.
