CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Behavioural Infectious Diseases Modelling
CSIRO acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, sea and waters, of the area that we live and work on across Australia. We acknowledge their continuing connection to their culture and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. View our vision towards reconciliation
CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work experience. These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.
Human behaviour, at the individual and collective levels, plays a crucial role in disease transmission. This has recently been demonstrated as vaccine uptake (or hesitancy), mask wearing, and physical distancing have all had significant impacts on the spread of SARS-CoV-2. An improved understanding of these behaviours, and their interactions with disease dynamics, is therefore necessary to support more realistic models to guide public health decision-making.
The successful candidate will integrate transmission modelling, behavioural sciences, and economics theory to maximise the utility for informing the potential impacts and trade-offs of various policies. This project forms part of the broader James Cook University-CSIRO Research Programme on Emerging Infectious Diseases.
