[cmath] Postdoctoral Fellowships in Mathematical Epidemiology and Mathematical Immunology - McMaster University, Department of Mathematics and Statistics

[Alan Kelm]

Mathematical Epidemiology and Mathematical Immunology

Applications are invited for postdoctoral fellowships in Mathematical 
Epidemiology and Mathematical Immunology in the Department of Mathematics 
and Statistics at McMaster University.  These fellowships provide an 
opportunity to spend either two or three years engaged in research, with a 
limited amount of teaching.

The fellowships are open to candidates of any nationality and selection 
will be based upon the candidate's research potential.  The normal 
starting date is July 1, 2008 and the annual stipend is a minimum of 
$40,000, plus a $2,000 grant for research expenses.

Both postdoctoral fellows will be based in the research group of Dr. David 
Earn (http://www.math.mcmaster.ca/earn).  The fellow in mathematical 
epidemiology will work on the project described at 
http://www.jsmf.org/grants/cs/essays/2006/earn.htm.  The fellow in 
mathematical immunology will work on modelling cancer vaccines based on 
data obtained from experimental trials in mice and humans in collaboration 
with Dr. Jonathan Bramson 
(http://fhs.mcmaster.ca/cgt/fac/bramson/bio.htm).

not addressed on our web sites should be directed by e-mail to David Earn 
(earn at math.mcmaster.ca).

Candidates are required to apply for these positions by using the MathJobs 
website (see our advertisement at http://www.mathjobs.org).  Review of 
applications will begin on January 4, 2008 and will continue until the 
positions are filled.

Applicants should arrange for at least three letters of recommendation. 
At least one of these letters should report on the candidate's teaching 
abilities.  Preferably these letters will be submitted through the 
http://www.mathjobs.org website; they may also be sent by e-mail to David 
Earn.

We appreciate all replies to this advertisement, but only those applicants 
selected for our short list will be contacted.
