Senior Postdoctoral Mathematical Modelling

We are looking for a passionate mid-senior level mathematical modelling with a strong background in infectious disease modelling. Join our client, a world-leading research institute at the forefront of tackling viral threats to animal and human health. This is a unique opportunity to lead a pioneering programme of mathematical modelling on livestock viruses—from within-host dynamics to large-scale transmission. You\’ll collaborate with top scientists, contribute to outbreak response, and publish in prestigious journals, all while enjoying generous benefits, professional development support, and a vibrant research culture committed to real-world impact.

Role:

• Lead the design and execution of comprehensive modelling programme focused on livestock viruses
• Collaborate with field and laboratory scientists to identify key research questions
• Develop and apply mathematical modelling methodologies
• Writing small scale grants
• Providing statistics and advice
• Working independently on projects
• Potential to be line managing and leading a small team

Requirements:

• Proven experience with mathematical modelling techniques
• PhD or relevant in biological sciences or with a substantial mathematical modelling component
• Three peer reviewing publications is essential
• Experience collaborating with laboratory and field scientists
• Experience of writing and managing small-scale grants

This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated researcher ready to take the next step in their career—offering the chance to independently lead innovative projects, manage and mentor others, and shape the direction of a high-impact research programme.
