Research topic We’re interested in candidates with the motivation to make technical/methodological advances in infectious disease epidemiological analysis using AI. This can include, but is not limited to, applications of reinforcement learning in public health decision-making, development of machine-learning models to accelerate inference of epidemiological and evolutionary parameters, and the development and use of protein folding models for understanding viral fitness, immunity, emergence of infectious diseases, and predictions of future pandemics. Phylodynamics & Human Mobility. We are looking to hire one fellow with the ambition to make theoretical advances in phylodynamic methodologies, potentially integrating novel data such as human mobility, to better characterize the spatiotemporal dynamics of infectious disease spread. A second fellow will work with empirical data, contributing to the improvement of the reliability and efficiency of phylodynamic analyses frameworks. Climate & Infectious diseases. We’re interested in candidates with a strong background in climate science and/or epidemiological/statistical modelling (including econometrics) to help advance current understanding (inference) and prediction of how climate, urbanization, deforestation (and other global changes) impact infectious diseases globally. This can include linking extreme climate events to migration and health. Global health digital data science. We’re interested in hearing from candidates with a background in equitable data sharing, federated learning, and/or applications of novel computational methods to advance data preparedness and response to infectious diseases. Principal Investigator / supervisor Project team Prof. Moritz Kraemer Team, research and environment: Our interdisciplinary team is led by Prof. Moritz Kraemer based across the Pandemic Sciences Institute, Oxford Martin School, and Department of Biology. The lab has between 10-15 researchers across various career stages from DPhil students to senior postdocs. Our work concerns the ecology, evolution, and mechanics of infectious diseases. We develop methods for the joint analyses of large-scale pathogen genomic, human mobility, and epidemiological datasets. We then translate insights from these analyses into actionable and equitable public health policies. Each current member contributes with their unique and diverse expertise to the group, with backgrounds ranging from astrophysics to molecular biology. We do not run a wet lab but have strong expertise in computational methods, access to high performance computing and strong links to global partners experiences in producing novel data for infectious disease epidemiology. Former members have gone on to hold independent research positions (lectureships, fellowships), received dissertation awards, and during their time published work in high impact journals including Science & Nature. We hold regular lab meetings, reading groups, and tutorials, often with participation from linked research groups (see below). Our work is currently funded by The Wellcome Trust, Google.org, Rockefeller Foundation, UK Research & Innovation, European Union and Oxford Martin School. The fellows will be based at the new Life and Mind Building (LAMB) with access to modern facilities, centrally located in the city with easy access to colleges, green space, and Departments. The Department and University offer multiple opportunities to get involved in teaching, mentoring, and supervising undergraduate and graduate students. Career progression guidance and support will be provided via the group and University, including training programmes. Fellows can apply for membership in Oxford Colleges but this is currently not part of the role. For any questions about our lab culture, please feel free to reach out to current members Joseph Tsui (lok.tsui@new.ox.ac.uk), Sumali Bajaj (sumali.bajaj@seh.ox.ac.uk) or Dr. Bernardo Gutierrez (bernardo.gutierrez@biology.ox.ac.uk).
