Postdoc or PhD Position in Mathematical Modelling of Vector-Borne Infections at University of Münster University of Münster in Germany

The University of Münster is offering a position for a Postdoc or PhD student in the field of Mathematical Modelling of Vector-Borne Infections. This opportunity is based at the Clinical Epidemiology Unit, Institute for Epidemiology and Social Medicine, and is part of the Interdisciplinary Center of Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Disease Dynamics (IMMIDD). The research focuses on the development and application of modern statistical and mathematical methods to analyze the spread of infectious agents in human populations, with a particular emphasis on vector-borne diseases.

The position is full-time (38.5 hours/week), limited to 3 years, and funded according to the TV-L E13 salary scale. The Clinical Epidemiology Unit is a key partner in the Modeling Network for Severe Infectious Diseases (MONID), a German research network supported by the Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space. The network aims to strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration and support early-career researchers in infectious disease modelling.

Applicants should have a strong background in mathematics, statistics, epidemiology, or a related discipline. Experience with mathematical modelling, especially in the context of infectious disease dynamics, is highly desirable. The successful candidate will join a vibrant research environment, collaborating with leading scientists and contributing to projects that inform public health policy and advance the understanding of infectious disease transmission.

To apply, candidates should prepare their application documents, including a CV, cover letter, and relevant certificates, and submit them via the official job portal before the deadline of March 4, 2026. For more information, visit the provided links to the job posting and the MONID network.
