4 weeks ago


Swindon, Swindon, United Kingdom NERC - the Natural Environment Research Council Full time
Research Opportunity

We are seeking a collaborative research team to investigate the ecological, evolutionary, and social drivers of infectious disease transmission in animals, humans, and plants.

The project will involve a quantitative or mathematical approach combined with qualitative principles to understand the complex dynamics of infectious disease transmission.

Collaboration Requirements

The research team must include a project lead from the US who will lead the submission through the National Science Foundation (NSF) process.

The UK project lead's institution will be responsible for receiving and distributing funding to UK institutions.

UK researchers can apply for research projects, research coordination networks (RCNs), or planning proposals with partners from the USA, China, or Israel.

Eligibility

Applicants for the UK component must meet the UKRI eligibility rules and be based at a higher education institution or research council institute.

Before applying for funding, check the UKRI eligibility rules and ensure that your institution is eligible.

Project Requirements

The research team must be multi-disciplinary, combining knowledge across disciplines to address the complex challenges of infectious disease transmission.

It is strongly recommended that proposals demonstrate good integration of mathematical, computational, and social scientists with life scientists interested in infectious diseases of animals, humans, and plants.

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion

We are committed to achieving equality of opportunity for all funding applicants and encourage applications from a diverse range of researchers.

We support people to work in a way that suits their personal circumstances, including career breaks, support for people with caring responsibilities, flexible working, and alternative working patterns.
