We are looking for a talented PhD student to model the complex interaction between disease transmission, information spread and public health intervention in a diverse population. Such a model has the potential to be used to design more efficient health interventions and test their effectiveness before they are rolled out — a significant contribution to public health.
Specifically the successful PhD candidate will combine real-world and simulated data, as a basis to design a multilayered mathematical model based on the compartmental SEIR (Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered) approach.
Global applications accepted.
