Central to HEALMOD is an emphasis on quantitative analyses of eco-social determinants of health, exploring the intricate links between human and natural systems.
Ideal candidates should possess deep expertise in mathematical and statistical methodologies relevant to models in epidemiology, ecology, or the social sciences. Their specific research interests may encompass:
• Mathematical/statistical modeling using dynamical systems
• Techniques for dissecting complex social and ecological models
• Bayesian inference and machine learning tailored for complex stochastic systems
• Cutting-edge AI methodologies
• Strategies for data reconciliation, coupled with expertise in handling multiscale and multi-stream dynamic data systems.
The search committee is especially interested in candidates who, through their research, teaching, and service, will contribute to the diversity and excellence of our academic community. This is a nine-month position. Rank and salary will be determined by the candidate’s credentials.
