Research Assistant/Associate in Mathematical and
Epidemiological Modelling
Salary: Grade 6 £26,004 – £29,249 / Grade 7 £31,948 –
£35,938 per annum
Ref: 001648
We are looking for a mathematical modeller to develop
state-of-the-art epidemiological models of the transmission and control of the
zoonotic pathogen E. coli O157.
You will be based within the University of Glasgow’s Boyd
Orr Centre for Population and Ecosystem Health (www.gla.ac.uk/boydorr), where you will
join a vibrant grouping of epidemiologists, biologists, statisticians,
veterinarians, physicists, ecologists and mathematicians with a focus on
applying quantitative approaches to biological problems.
Ideally, you will have some knowledge of stochastic
modelling and parameter estimation. A background in epidemiology or
mathematical biology and enthusiasm for learning new approaches would be
helpful.
The project is part of a Scottish Government funded
Strategic Partnership for Animal Science Excellence (SPASE), and will involves
close collaboration with statisticians, veterinarians, and biologists at BioSS
(Biomathematics and Statistics Scotland), SAC (Scottish Agricultural College)
and MRI (Moredun Research Institute).
This post is funded for 3 years.
Informal enquiries can be made to louise.matthews@glasgow.ac.uk

We are looking for a mathematical modeller to develop
game-theory approaches to incorporate farmer decision-making into
epidemiological models of disease control in livestock systems.
You will be based within the University of Glasgow’s Boyd
Orr Centre for Population and Ecosystem Health (www.gla.ac.uk/boydorr), where you will
join a vibrant grouping of epidemiologists, biologists, statisticians,
veterinarians, physicists, ecologists and mathematicians with a focus on
