Principal Analyst/Senior Analyst (Informatics Branch)

[What the role is]
You will work in Environmental Health Institute, and be a member in the Environmental Epidemiology & Toxicology Division.

[What you will be working on]

You will design and conduct research at the intersection of computational methods and environmental public health. Key areas of focus include developing computational tools to forecast risk of infectious diseases, especially vector borne diseases, formulating mathematical, statistical, and machine learning models to understand epidemiology and disease ecology, assessing the impact of environmental changes, such as climate change, and evaluating cost-effectiveness of public health interventions.

Your work will enhance our understanding of environmental epidemiology, guide the development of public health interventions, and inform operations, resource planning, and policy. As a member of the EHI family, you will have numerous opportunities for personal development, not only in science, but also in other areas such as leadership, management, and communication.
