A full-time post-doc position in theoretical disease ecology is available in the lab of Andy Fenton (Liverpool University), as part of a NERC-funded project involving Amy Pedersen (University of Edinburgh), Daniel Streicker (University of Glasgow) and Meggan Craft (University of Minnesota).
The postdoc will develop mathematical models exploring the epidemiology of various parasite species under alternative resource availability scenarios.
