---------------------------- Requirements: A post-doctoral position is available through the Department of Veterinary Sciences and in conjunction with the US Geological Survey’s National Wildlife Health Center to address questions related to the effects of vaccination on the long-term dynamics of plague in wild mammal systems. Currently, large-scale field trials evaluating the efficacy of an oral plague vaccine are ongoing at sites across the intermountain west. Candidates will support the project by taking the lead in developing spatially-explicit models of plague dynamics that incorporate empirical data collected from this field study. Applicants should possess a Ph.D. with an emphasis on quantitative skills (probability and statistics, modeling, programming, etc.). Experience in disease modeling or wildlife population modeling is highly desirable. Funding for the position is for a minimum of 1 year and is subject to renewal for additional years given availability of funding. The successful candidate will be an employee of University of Wisconsin (stationed in Madison, WI), and work closely with quantitative ecologists/disease modelers at the USGS National Wildlife Health Center. Anticipated start date is Aug 1st 2014. Salary: negotiable Deadline for applications: June 15, 2014 Please send CV include contact information for 3 references to *[email protected] <[email protected]>* Robin Russell Research Statistician NWHC, Madison, WI
