A Mathematical Epidemiology/Infectious Disease Modeling position is available in the Mitreva Lab with the Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine and McDonnell Genome Institute at WashU Medicine. The candidate will join an established and successful research group focused on integrating ‘multi-omics’ approaches aimed at understanding diseases at a systems biology level. The position requires working collaboratively with a team of experimental and computational biologists to integrate genetic and genomic data with mathematical modeling to better understand the transmission dynamics of parasitic infections and the evolutionary and genetic processes that shape their epidemiology. The postdoctoral fellow will contribute to NIH-funded projects aimed at developing and applying molecular genetic approaches to distinguish the causes of infection resurgence and persistence (e.g., recrudescence, new infection, poor drug response, parasite migration). The primary focus will be on integrating genetic data into epidemiological models of lymphatic filariasis to estimate the likelihood and pace of resurgence and to support surveillance and programmatic decision-making. The candidate will lead the mathematical modeling of lymphatic filariasis transmission and will have opportunities to travel and present at national and international conferences. WashU Medicine is one of the two main campuses of WashU in St. Louis, a private research university founded in 1853. Dr. Mitreva is faculty at the Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases and the lab is housed in the McDonnell Genome Institute, which has been at the forefront of genome research since its inception in 1993. We are a world-leader in genomics research as it applies to the study of model organisms and human biology, infections, genetic diseases, and the field of personalized medicine. We provide a value-added biologically and clinically relevant sequence analysis, and foster public understanding of science through various educational and outreach efforts.
