The Computational Epidemiology Lab at ISI Foundation (Turin, Italy) offers a postdoctoral position in Complex Systems/Epidemic Spreading
The Computational Epidemiology Lab at ISI Foundation (Turin, Italy) offers a postdoctoral position in Complex Systems/Epidemic Spreading
A 1+1 years postdoctoral position is available at the Computational Epidemiology Lab at ISI Foundation, Turin, Italy. The candidate is expected to work within the framework of the EC project PREDEMICS (http://predemics.biomedtrain.
We are looking for a strongly motivated person with excellent skills in theoretical modeling, computing, data collection and analysis, and a keen interest in multidisciplinary research. The candidate should have a PhD (or expect to have one for the starting date) in physics, applied mathematics, computer science, epidemiology, quantitative biology or any close related discipline. Proven ability to work independently and to quickly adapt to new scientific environments are essential for this position. Good communicative skills to successfully collaborate with the other members of the group, and a good knowledge of both oral and written English are required.
The selected candidate will join the Institute for Scientific Interchange Foundation (www.isi.it) in Turin, Italy and will work in collaboration with Dr. Vittoria Colizza and the members of the Computational Epidemiology Lab. The topics of the work will be marked by the objectives of the PREDEMICS project, that include the modeling of spatial spread of infection diseases affecting different types of hosts, and the study of virus mutation and evolution (with particular attention on influenza A virus). The work will be conducted in collaboration with the other partners of the project, including the Pasteur Institute (Paris, France), the Fundacio d'Ivestigacio Sanitaria de les illes Balears Ramon Llull (Spain), the Catholic University of Louvain (Belgium), the Universiy of Edinburgh (UK). The research work will be both computational (development of data-driven computational models) and theoretical (use of network physics approaches and more in general complex systems approaches for a theoretical characterization of spreading processes). Experience in complex systems and networks, epidemic propagation phenomena and/or evolution is highly desirable.
The position is available starting October 2012. Applications will be continuously received and evaluated until the position is filled.

Ph.D: Anthropological Linguistics
Level: PhD
Duties: Research
Specialty Areas: Anthropological Linguistics
Language and cognition; Language documentation; psycholinguistics
Description:
Two PhD positions are available, associated with the Australian Research Council
funded project 'Thinking and talking about atolls: the role of environment in shaping
language and our understanding of physical space.' One position will be based at
University of Newcastle (Newcastle, Australia), the other at Monash University
(Melbourne, Australia).
A good undergraduate degree in linguistics is required, preferably a first-class
Honours degree or Master's degree.
Deadline for applications: October 19, 2012 (or until filled)
Start date: Late 2012, early 2013
Two positions are available for PhD students to conduct research on the role of the
environment in shaping systems of linguistic spatial reference. The project will use
field-based investigation of languages spoken on atolls to test hypotheses on
correlations between the physical environment in which a language is spoken and
aspects of that language's system of spatial reference, particularly relating to
absolute frame of reference. The subproject associated with one PhD will involve
field research on the Marshallese language, primarily in the Marshall Islands but
also in the United States. The second PhD subproject will involve field research on
the Dhivehi language of the Maldives.
Applicants will require solid undergraduate training in linguistics, ideally with some
training in the application of experimental methodologies. We are especially
interested in applicants with an interest in the relationship between language and
cognition, ideally with some background in spatial language. Some knowledge of
Austronesian or Indo-Aryan languages will be helpful.
The Marshallese subproject will be housed in the Endangered Languages
Documentation, Theory and Application Research Group at the University of
Newcastle, and will be supervised by Dr Bill Palmer. The Maldives subproject will
be housed in the Department of Linguistics at Monash University and will be
supervised by Dr Alice Gaby. Both will form part of a team of researchers including
Palmer and Gaby and one other PhD student.
Applications should be sent AS EMAIL ATTACHMENTS directly to both Palmer
and Gaby, and should include a covering letter outlining your relevant training and
experience, a CV, and transcripts of your academic history.
Applications should be sent to Dr Bill Palmernewcastle.edu.au>
and Dr Alice Gabymonash.edu> for more information.
