Postdoctoral Mathematical Modeller
Burnet Institute

Melbourne

An exciting opportunity is available for a postdoctoral mathematical modeller to join the Modelling & Biostatistics team at Burnet to work on multidisciplinary projects, to develop and apply epidemiological and costing models to real world applications.

The Mathematical Modeller will:

• Develop and apply mathematical models to address major public health issues, predominantly viral hepatitis, but also other major infectious diseases including HIV, TB and malaria and other areas of public health;
• Work with a team of mathematical modellers, economists, health and policy experts, computer scientists and epidemiologists to refine epidemiological and costing models; and
• Provide modelling and analytical support to governments and other partners - notably the World Bank and international health agencies - to improve resource allocative efficiency within the heath sector.

This position is initially for a 2 year period with the possibility of extension.
