The ideal candidate will have a PhD in a quantitative field, including but not limited to computer science, applied math, physics, statistics, epidemiology, and data science. Strong programming skills (Python or R) and good oral and written communication skills are required. A strong publication record and the ability to perform research independently are highly preferred. Competitive salary including full benefits will be provided commensurate with experience and qualifications. This is a great opportunity to join an interdisciplinary team in New York City working on infectious diseases, computational modeling, and health. The position will remain open until filled.
