Job Description:
The Institute for Global Health & Infectious Diseases announces a position at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), focusing on HIV phylodynamics, network epidemiology, and HIV Prevention research. The successful candidate will participate in the management, oversight, and implementation of a 5 year project funded by the NIH to evaluate HIV phylodynamics to monitor and respond to HIV transmission networks. The study location is the State of North Carolina. The Postdoctoral Research Scholar will work directly with Ann Dennis, MD, MS at UNC-CH and Simon Frost, DPhil at the University of Cambridge. Other involved faculty include Erik Volz, PhD at Imperial College London and Myron Cohen, MD at UNC-CH. The initial term of appointment is one year but reappointment for subsequent years is likely depending on contributions to the project. We are seeking a highly motivated candidate who will provide technical assistance to public health partners in nucleotide sequence management, conduct sequence-based network and phylodynamic analyses, and assist in modeling applications. The scholar will lead manuscript preparation and collaborate on future grant proposal writing. Duties include but are not limited to: ? Assist in technical and scientific oversight and implementation of the project ? Coordinate between state and university laboratory partners, public health epidemiologists and disease intervention services ? Participate in data management and analyses of HIV epidemiological surveillance data including HIV sequences (consensus pol sequences generated by reference laboratories and deep sequencing data generated by UNC-CH). Conduct transmission clusters analyses and assist in phylodynamic modeling. ? Develop research reports and presentations for academic, public health, and community audiences. Minimum Qualifications: The scholar must possess the ability to work flexibly, have evidence of publications and involvement in funded research preferred, and an interest in prevention and public health activities. An excellent grasp of bioinformatics and programming (such as in R, Python, Javascript or Julia) is needed.Appicants should either possess a PhD in Virology, Evolution, Bioinformatics, Epidemiology, or a related field or have equivalent combination of education and experience working in a research software engineering environment.
