There is a critical need for new global health planning in malaria – a disease that kills 600,000 individuals every year. Over the past five years, the emergence of new artemisinin-resistant malaria strains in Africa means that drug-resistance mitigation plans are urgently needed on the continent. Using the newest developments in computational epidemiology, our research group is currently assisting five national malaria control programs in Africa in designing these drug-resistance response strategies. Please apply to this post if you would like to be part of this effort.
The Boni Lab, based at the Institute for Genomics and Evolutionary Medicine (IGEM) in the Department of Biology at Temple University’s College of Science & Technology, is looking to hire one or two highly-motivated individuals with interest in addressing the need for global health planning for the recent malaria emergence as a Postdoctoral Research Associate. These positions will be available starting Fall and Winter 2024. The successful candidates will perform research in collaboration with the Boni Lab focused on mathematical modeling of response strategies to the current urgent problem in Africa of responding to the recent (2020-2021) emergence of artemisinin resistance on the continent.
The Boni Lab uses the newest developments in computational epidemiology to assist five national malaria control programs in Africa with designing drug-resistance response strategies to combat the rise of new artemisinin-resistant malaria strains.
Currently, the Boni Lab is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the National Institutes of Health and is collaborating and partnering with various global agencies such as Applied Malaria Modeling Network, Oxford University, Imperial College, IS Global, Swiss Tropical Public Health, World Health Organization, Rwanda Biomedical Centre, national malaria programs of Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, and Burkina Faso, Medicines for Malaria Venture, and JHPIEGO (at Johns Hopkins).
The Postdoctoral Research Associate, will play a critical role in our research team’s malaria epidemiological modeling, perform computational and mathematical modeling, assemble and analyze national and global health data, build and visualize additional models to make near-term and long-term forecasts. Perform other duties as assigned.
Successful candidates will know or be able to learn how to:
Candidates are required to have a Ph.D. in a relevant field (such as computer science or computational epidemiology) and a strong interest in malaria research. Experience in C++ is recommended.
