Post-Doctoral Research Fellow

A Post-doctoral Research Fellow position is available in the Infectious Disease Sciences (IDS) Program in the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Division (VIDD). The scientist will work with the Schiffer group and his team to develop mathematical models.

Responsibilities

The successful applicant will work with the Schiffer group to develop mathematical models that focus on optimizing treatment of viral infections, including but not limited to curative strategies for HIV such as therapeutic vaccination, latency reversal agents, neutralizing antibody delivery, CAR T cells and antiproliferative agents. He/She will also collaborate with laboratory-based virologists, immunologists, oncologists, and clinical investigators from VIDD, to generate datasets appropriate for model testing and validation. The successful applicant will interact with Fred Hutch based faculty outside of VIDD, plus members of the University of Washington faculty in the Division of Virology and Division of Infectious Diseases, and Department of Biostatistics.  

Qualifications

Suitable applicants should have a PhD degree in statistics/biostatistics, computer science, applied mathematics, biomedical engineering, physics, computational biology, evolutionary biology or other fields with strong quantitative training. Strong programming skills in C/C++, Matlab and/or R are required. Previous experience with differential equation based or agent based models are a plus.
