The Department of Global and Environmental Health at the School of Global Public Health, New York University, is seeking applicants for a fully-funded Postdoctoral Researcher position, to lead research across a portfolio of projects related to epidemiological and economic modelling of vaccination. Candidates are expected to have a doctoral degree (ideally PhD/DPhil) in a quantitative subject. They should also have experience in statistical, mathematical, economic or other types of quantitative modeling relevant to health conditions, and relevant computer coding expertise. Candidates with experience in infectious disease modeling and/or cost-effectiveness analysis are of particular interest.

The postholder will be responsible for outputs that have the potential to directly inform global (e.g. by the World Health Organization), regional and national vaccine policy-making. The successful candidate will have publication, professional development and global health networking opportunities to prepare them for faculty positions in infectious disease modelling at top universities globally. They will also be part of a growing department that may be creating tenure-track faculty positions in the coming years. The position carries funding to support conference travel, publication fees, meetings with collaborators, and other research-related expenses.
