Postdoctoral Researcher in Infectious Disease Modelling
4 weken geleden
The GRIFFINS Project is a collaborative initiative between GGD Amsterdam, Amsterdam UMC, and the Amsterdam Health & Technology Institute (AHTI). This 1-year project aims to develop a dynamic surveillance framework by integrating demographic data, clinical information, pathogen genomic data, and epidemiological data. The project will adapt and refine a predictive agent-based model to simulate infectious disease spread, identify transmission hotspots, and inform public health interventions.
About the RoleAs a Postdoctoral Infectious Disease Modeler, you will play a key role in adapting and validating an agent-based model to understand and predict infectious disease dynamics. You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to integrate complex datasets, use the model to identify transmission hotspots, and communicate findings to public health stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities- Develop, validate, and refine an agent-based model of infectious disease spread using retrospective and up-to-date clinical, demographic, and genomic data.
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to integrate complex datasets.
- Use the model to identify transmission hotspots, predict high-risk populations, estimate disease burden, and simulate various outbreak scenarios.
- Design and implement protocols for linking hospital-based Electronic Patient Records (EPIC) and Laboratory Information Systems (LIMS) data to high-resolution demographic data from Statistics Netherlands (CBS).
- Develop and iterate workflows for the continuous integration of new data sources to ensure real-time model updates.
- Doctoral degree in infectious disease modelling, biomathematics, biostatistics, computational biology, or any other relevant quantitative background.
- Strong programming proficiency (Python, R, and/or C/C++).
- Experience in ODE/PDE, stochastic process, and/or agent-based modelling.
- Preferably with expertise in respiratory infectious disease and public health modelling.
- Experience working with large-scale datasets, data integration, and data management.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with an ability to translate complex data into actionable insights.
Amsterdam UMC Research BV supports non-profit scientific research. You will work in a dynamic and collaborative work environment with leading public health and academic institutions in Amsterdam. You will be based at the Laboratory of Applied Evolutionary Biology (LAEB) at Amsterdam UMC, where you will have the opportunity to work with an internationally diverse team of computational and wet lab biologists working at the interface of evolution, epidemiology, and pathogen biology.
