We study transmission dynamics using a combination of theoretical and empirical approaches to improve global health.
Projects
-
Impetus The Impetus study aims to develop and extend statistical and modeling methodologies for spatial data.
-
Cholera Dynamics The Cholera Dynamics Project aims to study cholera transmission dynamics through mechanistic and statistical models using global incidence data.
-
Measles & Rubella Dynamics Working towards control, elimination, and eradication of two of the world's most infectious diseases.
-
Healthcare Epidemiology We work closely with the Johns Hopkins Hospital and other organizations to understand and combat healthcare acquired infections.
-
HIV Dynamics We conduct highly interdisciplinary HIV research focused on the application of mechanistic models and molecular epidemiology to population-based cross-sectional and longitudinal survey data. Our efforts are largely concentrated in Sub-Saharan Africa.
-
SMART2 Surveillance, Monitoring Absenteeism & Respiratory Transmission in Schools.
-
Emerging Diseases Dynamic modeling and real time analyses to respond to emerging disease threats.
-
Fluscape Characterizing the immune landscapes of human influenza in southern China.
-
Cross-Sectional Incidence Testing Developing and validating testing algorithms to generate point estimates of HIV and HCV incidence.

Postdoctoral Position: Global Cholera Dynamics
Our group in the Department of Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is looking for a postdoctoral fellow to work on projects related to cholera dynamics to better understand the global burden and geographic distribution of the disease. The ideal applicant will have both quantitative experience in epidemiology, statistics, and/or ecology and an interest in public health research related to disease prevention and control in global settings. Experience working with/engaging with officials at Ministries of Health, the WHO, UNICEF, and other high-level partners in the control of cholera and in disease mapping are highly desirable. Applicants with, or nearing completion of, a doctoral degree in epidemiology, biostatistics, or a related public health field will be considered.
Interested candidates should contact Laura Bowles (lbowles [at] jhu.edu) with a CV, statement of interest, and references. Application will be considered on a rolling basis and should be submitted by September 15, 2017.
