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 March 15, 2018.
