  1. Postdoctoral Fellowship Position Summary/Position: Global Influenza Dynamics Fellow

The Global Influenza Dynamics Fellow will conduct an integrated programme of mathematical science research to study the global spread of influenza viruses, aiming to understand the emergence and impact of different virulent strains in time and space. The role of antigenic drift, multi-strain dynamics, immune development and cross-protection will be considered and their potential role in shaping global influenza dynamics will be investigated.

Deadline: 11 January 2023

  1. Postdoctoral Fellowship Position Summary/Position: Epidemiology and Housing Intervention Simulation Modelling Fellow

The successful applicant will need excellent epidemiological skills; a large and critical part of the position will be to evaluate existing studies and select the best ones to parameterise effect sizes (e.g. what is the ratio of asthma incidence to asthma severity for different severity of indoor moulds). You will need to enjoy conceptualising the causal network and being able to set reasonable effect sizes (and their uncertainties) for the many moving parts of the simulation model – even if the evidence isn’t perfect.

Deadline: 6 January 2023

  1. Postdoctoral Fellowship Position Summary/Position: Marine Engineering Researcher

The successful applicant will be involved in a project funded by the Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) aimed at studying the current and future meteorological marine climate of Port Phillip Bay (PPB) and surrounding waters. This exciting multidisciplinary study aims to validate models and simulate wave climate in the PPB for statistical description and to explore the links between Metocean climate and sediment transport, biogeochemistry and other processes in the bay.
