Postdoctoral Research Position in UK University

The University of Exeter is seeking a highly skilled Postdoctoral Research Associate or Fellow to join an interdisciplinary team of epidemiologists and statisticians working on forecasting the spatio-temporal evolution of Covid-19 in the UK.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop an automatic calibration system for Metawards, a high-resolution Covid-19 simulation model, using government data streams.
  • Forecast short and medium-term evolution of the disease in the UK over the winter and beyond, with forecasts feeding into policy makers through SPI-M and SAGE.
  • Design and analyze large numbers of simulations of Metawards and use Gaussian processes to calibrate the model to Covid-19 data streams.
  • Implement a data assimilation system for the calibrated model to correctly seed local outbreaks, enabling real-time analysis of proposed interventions.

Requirements:

  • PhD in a relevant field, such as epidemiology, statistics, or computer science.
  • Strong programming skills in languages such as Python or R.
  • Experience with Bayesian analysis and machine learning techniques.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills.

What We Offer:

  • A competitive salary, ranging from £30,046 to £35,845, depending on qualifications and experience.
  • A dynamic and supportive research environment.
  • The opportunity to work on a high-impact project with significant potential for policy influence.

How to Apply:

Please submit your application, including your CV, cover letter, and contact information for two academic referees, to [insert contact information].
