We invite applications from ambitious postdoctoral scientists for a 3-year fellowship in partnership with the CLIMADE consortium at the Centre for Epidemic Response and Innovation (CERI). This transdisciplinary project focuses on leveraging satellite data, remote sensing, GIS, and climate modeling to advance spatial epidemiology research. The successful candidate will integrate genomic and geospatial data to develop predictive models that monitor and control infectious disease outbreaks influenced by climate change.
