The PandemiX Center of Excellence and the Department of Science and Environment at 兴发娱乐官网手机版客户端 University, Denmark, invites applications for a PhD fellowship in mathematical epidemiology/data science. The PhD project focuses on the use of quantitative skills for modeling particular diseases, and to use large datasets to discover signature patterns in historical and contemporary pandemics. The project will be part of the PandemiX Center of Excellence, which is funded by the Danish National Research Foundation (DNRF) and led by professor of epidemiology Lone Simonsen. The daily work location will be primarily at Statens Serum Institut (SSI) where PandemiX has offices.

Application deadline January 29th, 2024. The successful candidate is expected to start the position on April 1st 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter.
