Many urgent policy issues concerning the control and elimination of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) can only be answered through high-quality quantitative modelling. You will be key to the project, which with other researchers based in a consortium comprising Warwick and eleven other universities around the world, will undertake research into nine diseases commonly found in some of the poorest populations in the world.

The Warwick team is led by Deirdre Hollingsworth, Matt Keeling and Orin Courtenay. Applicants with expertise in the areas of infectious disease modelling are encouraged to apply.

All applicants should also send a research statement by email to Ann Hume (Departmental Secretary, Mathematics) at this email address: MathematicsPA@warwick.ac.uk and ensure that their 3 referees send their references to the same email address by the closing date.

If you have not yet been awarded your PhD but are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant on level 5 of the University grade structure (£28,143 pa).
