The Department of Mathematics at the University of Manitoba invites applications from outstanding young researchers in the mathematical sciences for nomination for PIMS Postdoctoral Fellowships for the year 2022-2023 (the fellowship may be taken up at any time between 1 September 2022 and 1 January 2023). This fellowship is for one year and is renewable, contingent on satisfactory progress, for at most one additional year. Successful candidates will each be expected to teach two courses per academic year. The value of this fellowship at the University of Manitoba is $60,000 per year.
Eligibility:
1. Ph.D. or equivalent (or expected to be awarded by 31 December 2022).
2. Research overlaps with the Department’s existing areas of research strength (successful candidates have to be nominated for the fellowship by one or more professors in the department).
How to apply: Application process consists of two steps.
Step 1 (this should be done as soon as possible but no later than 15 November 2021).
Applications should be submitted online at https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/18201 (this page if you are reading this on mathjobs.org). Applicants should upload
(i) cover letter containing the name of the person or people in the department whose research overlaps with the applicants research areas (applicants are strongly encouraged to contact these people to discuss common research interests) — applications without this information will not be considered;
(ii) curriculum vitae;
(iii) research statement;
(iv) publication list;
(v) information about teaching experience (if any);
(vi) applicants should also arrange for at least two reference letters to be uploaded;
(vii) special justification statement if the time from Ph.D. is longer than 3 years.

Step 2 (deadline: 1 December 2021) This should be done only after Step 1 is completed, and only if the applicant received a confirmation email from the PIMS-UofM Site Director that he/she will be nominated for this fellowship.
(i)Complete application (cover letter, CV, list of publications, research statement, EDI statement, reference letters) should be uploaded through the main PIMS application page on MathJobs https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/17212.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at the University of Manitoba (Winnipeg, Canada) to work on the project “Vaccination and antimicrobials, from the individual to the population: Real-time modelling and data analysis to project therapeutic intervention” funded by OMNI/REUNI (https://yfile.news.yorku.ca/2021/04/11/york-university-researchers-leading-national-infectious-disease-modelling-efforts/).

Vaccination is a critical piece of the pharmaceutical arsenal in the fight against (re-)emerging infectious diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that deploying a treatment and vaccination campaign in the middle of a crisis poses specific complications, particularly when the efficacy and protection of different interventions against the pathogen’s evolutionary landscape may not be fully understood. Rapid and accurate forecasting of drug and vaccine dosing needs are paramount to successful public health planning. Here, we will develop within-host mathematical models of pathogen evolution and pharmaceutical interventions to support real-time, population-level public health decision-making.

The work will be co-supervised by J. Arino, K.-L. Liao, S. Portet (University of Manitoba) and M. Craig (Université de Montréal). This fellowship is for one year and is renewable for one year, contingent on satisfactory progress. The value of this fellowship at the University of Manitoba is $50,000 per year.

Candidate Requirements:

• hold or have completed a Ph.D. in applied mathematics, data science or related discipline and have an excellent academic record
• demonstrated mathematical modelling capacities using data-driven quantitative analyses, differential equations, stochastic modelling, and/or mixed-effects modelling
• knowledge of epidemiology and physiological processes relevant to immunology is an asset
• have excellent communication and organization skills

Applicants should submit in one PDF file:

• CV including date of the thesis defence, and summary of the Ph.D. thesis, previous and current academic positions
• A complete list of publications (with highlighting up to three most significant papers and explaining your individual contribution to each of them with 3-4 sentences)
• A research statement (2-3 pages)
• The names and contact information for three referees
