We are looking for PhDs and Postdocs to join Jonas Juul improving inference, forecasting, and mitigation in future pandemics.
The project (funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation) will improve epidemic preparedness in several ways, for example:
- By improving the statistical foundation for the projection of epidemic case numbers.
- By quantifying the effectiveness and efficiency of mitigation strategies analytically and numerically, we will get a better understanding of how mitigation strategies should adapt as an epidemic develops.
- By studying plausible infection patterns in combination with Danish register data to understand how the COVID-19 epidemic propagated through Danish social networks.
The positions come with attractive opportunities for conference participation, travel, etc., and Copenhagen offers a world-class research community in network science, epidemiology, and data science.
Interested in large-scale data analysis, applied statistics, and/or analytical methods for studying epidemics in networks? Read more here:
and feel free to reach out to Jonas Juul (jjuu@itu.dk) if you have any questions.
