Clemson University’s Center for Public Health Modeling and Response (PHMR) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellowship to join a CDC funded center grant to create a national network in outbreak analytics and disease modeling. The mission of PHMR is to develop and utilize data-driven approaches to inform clinical and public health decision-making and assist the ability of health organizations and communities to prepare for, and respond to, public health threats. The Postdoctoral Fellow will be a part of Clemson’s DMA-PRIME division (Disease Modeling and Analytics to inform outbreak Preparedness, Response, Intervention, Mitigation, and Elimination). For this position, we seek an enthusiastic, collaborative researcher with training in spatial visual analytics and Geographic Information Systems with an interest in developing and implementing techniques to inform and improve outbreak detection, forecasting, and public health response nationwide.
Duties and responsibilities: The postdoctoral fellowship will focus on developing and implementing GIS and data visualization methodology, with the ultimate goal of detecting/ predicting disease hotspots and informing real-time outbreak response efforts. The models will be integrated into health systems across South Carolina to 1) inform and improve strategic delivery of mobile health clinics for infectious disease testing, treatment, and vaccination, 2) inform community awareness, and 3) run statewide disaster simulation scenarios. The postdoc will be expected to lead publications for the models developed and collaborate on (or lead) publications in public health, medical, and policy journals for research related to implementation of the methods developed.
