We are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in mathematical modelling in the team ‘Communicable Diseases Surveillance and Modelling' at Institut Pierre Louis d'Epidemiologie et Santé Publique (IPLESP).

The Institut Pierre Louis d'Epidémiologie et de Santé Publique (IPLESP, UMRS-1136) is an Inserm and Sorbonne Université laboratory, created in January 2014. It is based in Paris, and located in two sites (Hôpital Saint- Antoine and Hôpital La Pitié-Salpetrière). IPLESP was founded with the view of gathering in one laboratory all forces in research in epidemiology and public health of Sorbonne Université.

The surveillance and modelling (SUMO) team of IPLESP is a unique combination of worldwide recognized research scientists developing infectious disease surveillance and mathematical and statistical modelling approaches to study infectious diseases of public health concern.

The post-holder will work in SUMO team, as part as a larger interdisciplinary project on the epidemiology of tick-borne zoonoses in France, covering field work, lab work and modelling. The project primarily studies Lyme borreliosis (LB) and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), both transmitted by the same tick Ixodes ricinus. The post-holder is expected to develop mathematical models addressing Lyme borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis transmission, and fit them to a series of datasets (on ticks, animals, human infection data), with the aim to estimate transmission parameters, explore the role of each compartment in human disease incidence, and look at the impact of different control strategies and climatic scenarios on disease burden.

The post-holder will be responsible for:

Developing mathematical models, from the conceptual biological the coding aspects

Providing a thorough description of datasets used for fitting

Working iteratively with collaborators to develop the model

Publishing the results in scientific peer-reviewed journals

Contributing to disseminate knowledge to the general public through the development of a web interface

Contributing to masters and PhD students supervision working in the project

Presenting the work in international conferences

We encourage the candidates will the following profile & skills to apply:

Mathematical modeller

PhD in a quantitative science (e.g., applied mathematics, physics, computer science, epidemiology)

Knowledge of epidemiology of infectious diseases and biological systems

Strong drive in conducting interdisciplinary research in the field of zoonoses and public health

Skills in model development, fitting and inference for infectious diseases dynamics

Fluent coding skills (R, python or C++)

Having published modelling papers in international peer-reviewed journals as lead author

Knowledge of statistics and their use in epidemiology is desirable

Good communicative skills to work in an interdisciplinary consortium (virologists, microbiologists, wildlife ecologists and tick specialists, experts in health agencies)

English (fluent written and oral)

Ability to work independently

We offer:

Scientific development opportunities in a national and international environment

Excellent daily working environment and dynamic modelling group, located in Paris centre

Interdisciplinary research environment in a “One Health” approach

Contract duration: 2 years in the first instance

The post-holder will be employed by Inserm. The position is full time and fixed-term, available for two years in the first instance. Applications will be continuously received and evaluated until the position is filled. The salary will be accordingly to INSERM scale, and based on professional experience or similar positions. Applications and any enquiry should be submitted to the contact email indicated in the ad. Please send:

full CV including the list of publications

cover letter

up to 3 selected publications/ preprints most relevant for this position
