Post-Doctoral and Research Associate Positions at Penn State: Evolutionary Risk Analyses in Human Health

The Read Group at Penn State is looking to hire up to four brave, ambitious, fun, and skilled post-docs and research associates interested in real time evolution in health-care settings. The evolution of drug resistance is one of the major challenges for 21st Century Medicine. One approach is to discover new drugs to replace those that are failing, but a much cheaper approach is to use the drugs we already have in ways which slow or prevent resistance emergence (stewardship). We are interested in hiring up to four people who are passionately interested in giving stewardship science a rigorous grounding in modern evolutionary theory. Projects include experimental work with drug resistance in malaria and with bacteria present in US hospitals, epidemiological and genomic analyses of hospital infections, statistical analyses of electronic health records, and the development and application of evolutionary models in health-care settings. There may also be options in cancer. Click here to apply for this position and see below for additional details.

Ideal candidates will have a PhD in cogent science (such as evolutionary biology, ecology, mathematics, statistics, epidemiology, public health, bioinformatics, genomics, microbiology), up to 4 years postdoctoral experience, and a significant publication record. We are looking for people whose interests coincide with ours but with skill sets that add to those already in our groups (www.thereadgroup.net , http://www.uofmhealth.org/profile/3610/robert-james-woods-md). Experience with evolution in health care settings is desirable, but more critical is a keen interest in the application of basic science to improve real-world health outcomes and the capacity to operate in a highly interdisciplinary and collaborative environment.
