Job Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to contribute to an ambitious doctoral network that aims to integrate poultry vaccination approaches into efficient management strategies for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI). The project, VIVACE, will unravel the impact of current and upcoming EU vaccination policies on avian influenza virus evolution, surveillance, and control strategies. Our research will combine disciplines from life sciences, epidemiology, computer sciences, and social and behavioural sciences to develop data-driven model-based decision-support tools.

The project involves spending time in France and The Netherlands, with opportunities for collaboration with leading universities and research institutes.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop data-driven model-based decision-support tools to identify efficient poultry vaccination strategies.
  • To further develop existing between-farm transmission models of HPAI, incorporating vaccination strategies taking into account their impact on virus transmissibility, clinical manifestation, surveillance effectiveness, and biosecurity compliance.
  • Calibrate the transmission model using recent HPAI epidemics and preliminary results from vaccination challenges and clinical trials.
Requirements

A strong background in biology, ecology, veterinary medicine, animal science, or agronomy is essential, along with proven quantitative analytical skills. Candidates with a background in applied mathematics and an interest in biology are also encouraged to apply. A strong interest in programming, preferably in R, would be advantageous. Proficiency in English writing and willingness to present research work at international conferences are essential.
