Postdoctoral Research Scholar

Job description

Description Annual salary: $65,000-70,000/year, fiscal year appointment The School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences (SMNS), part of the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at Arizona State University (ASU) invites applications for two postdoctoral scholar positions in the area of mathematical modeling to work with Dr. Nina Fefferman. The first position will focus on modeling dynamics of/on networks with higher-order interactions. This will be in collaboration with an NSF-funded ASU-UCLA team using ants as a model system and developing theory to characterize dynamic processes on networks as complex contagions on higher-order structures (e.g., hypergraphs and simplicial sets). The work will focus on mathematical modeling with a special focus on network science and complex systems, but a strong modeling background is more important than experience in any particular prior disciplinary focus. The second position will focus on economic epidemiology and mathematical modeling and will be in collaboration with an NSF-funded team working explicitly to understand the impact of economic and behavioral decisions on outbreak risks within a wildlife trade network context.
