The Boni Lab in the Department of Biology at Temple University is recruiting highly-motivated individuals for one or two postdoctoral scholar positions. Positions will be available starting January 2 2024.  The successful candidates will perform research in collaboration with the Boni Lab focused on mathematical modeling of response strategies to the current urgent problem in Africa of responding to the recent (2020-2021) emergence of artemisinin resistance on the continent.
Our lab is based at the Institute for Genomics and Evolutionary Medicine (IGEM) in Temple University's Biology Department, in Philadelphia. Our malaria modeling work is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. We are part of the global Applied Malaria Modeling Network (AMMNet), and we collaborate routinely with partners at Oxford, Imperial College, and the Swiss Tropical Public Health Institute (e.g. see https://mol.ax/pdf/watson22.pdf). We provide malaria advice and analytics to WHO regularly, and we have continuously running partnerships with the Rwanda Biomedical Centre and the national malaria programs of Rwanda, Uganda, and Burkina Faso. We also work with MMV and UNITAID and larger consortial projects on planning and evaluating strategies for Africa-wide artemisinin-resistance response.
Successful candidates for these posts will know how to:

• Perform research in malaria individual-based modeling 
• Use geospatial software like arcGIS to assemble malaria prevalence/incidence data
• Learn a C++ software development process for large complex projects
• Understand the needs and requirements of national malaria control programs in malaria-endemic countries

Candidates are required to have a Ph.D. in a relevant field (such as computer science or computational epidemiology) and a strong interest in malaria research. Experience in C++ is recommended. 
Candidates are encouraged to apply if they are interested in developing applied epidemiological skills through the use of computation, simulation, and new software development, and if they have a keen interest in emergency-level global health response for one of the developing world's most pressing current health problems. 
Applicants should submit a cover letter describing their research experience and how these experiences relate to the position, a CV, and contact information for two references. For informal inquiries, please email mboni@temple.edu. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. 
This is a limited-term appointment funded for one year from date of hire, with excellent possibility of extension.
