Standard salary range for postdocs starting at 49K.

We are looking for a software developer to help us make some computational advances in an individual-based epidemiological microsimulation that we use to generate long-term forecasts for drug-resistance evolution in malaria.  This is part of a Gates-funded project on malaria management and elimination.

Applicants should have a strong background in C++.   Current code base is located here.  Read more about the position and apply online here.

Salary range 55K to 80K.

We are looking for a research assistant to work on some coding, visualization, model development, and background research in our malaria modeling work.

A bachelor’s degree in a computational or quantitative field is required, and the ideal candidate will have had some experience with mathematical modeling.
