This software ecosystem, developed by our RESIDE team reside-ic.github.io is one of the most useful toolkits around if you ask me; makes development and fitting of state space models really easy and accessible. Apply to come and learn more!

Amazing opportunity: a few PhD positions in Health Analytics, Epidemic Modelling and Health Economics available with myself and colleagues from @mrc-outbreak.bsky.social, @ccmid.bsky.social and @ukhsa.bsky.social. Please apply/circulate widely!

Our short course in infectious disease epidemiology and control is now open for applications! I am proud to be the director of this popular hands-on course which will teach you the basics of epidemic modelling in just two weeks! Apply here and spread the word! www.infectiousdiseasemodels.org

Looking for a position - postdoc, PhD, faculty - in infectious disease dynamics (broadly defined)? Follow @iddjobs.bsky.social and check IDDjobs.org This is a community site started in 2017 for open positions in our wide and varied field. Add your jobs, look for jobs, share opportunities!

I went into my kids' school today to talk about infectious diseases, vaccines, and science. Kids (6yo) were so receptive, curious and clever. Given how the week started, it felt particularly important to educate young generations to these topics today. Maybe my most impactful activity all week...

A post-doctoral fellowship in the Department of Statistics! All areas of stats research work - including statistical epidemiology :) Please apply

Inspiring conversations about scientific evidence for policy decisionmaking during public health emergencies and the importance of science communication #ICID2024 @eonore.bsky.social @anne-cori.bsky.social @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social @imperialsph.bsky.social

Interested in Lassa fever? Hear @drpdoohan.bsky.social summarise our Lassa review, recently published in @thelancet.bsky.social Global Health and part of our wider multi-pathogen review project: bit.ly/imperial-PERG

2 prestigious fellowship in the Oxford Department of Statistics - apply now!

We use genomic information to investigate pathogen spread... but do people discover when they take at-home DNA tests? Find out with season 2 of The Gift by the amazing @jennykleeman.bsky.social

Well, I'm making my first post here, and it is a fun one: I have recently advertised for up to 4 post-doctoral research positions, 3-5 years in duration. If you are interested please get in touch or apply. An opportunity to work in Melbourne, great team, great city! Details at iddjobs.org:

This is a very big problem, that we need to discuss... As a non-native English speaker I find AI tools help a lot in making my writing sound much more like proper English. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

If there are any users of the socialmixr R package for estimating contact matrices here: we're planning some substantial changes to the user interface and would love to hear your thoughts/views. Please feel free to comment at github.com/epiforecasts...

Probably the most exciting thing for me about Bsky is that the phenomenal and inspiring @christldonnelly.bsky.social is here. And she is posting really exciting opportunities too!

A group of us have been working on creating a repository of models and epidemiological parameters ready-to-use in future epidemics, with a focus on high-threat pathogens. Today our Lassa review is out: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti.... More on the overall project here: bit.ly/imperial-PERG

Love these science Starter Packs! If you're making one, please take a moment to make sure it's balanced on gender, ethnicity, geography or other factors relevant in your area, otherwise we risk entrenching inequalities in reach and impact and driving rich-get-richer in scientific visibility.

Second day here and already addicted to starter packs about pretty much anything - keep them coming!

Hello Bsky! I work on real-time outbreak response and statistical methods/software to support this, and wanted to point to this recent work led by my amazing colleague @eonore, looking at the extent to which our team work on COVID-19 influenced policy globally: doi.org/10.1186/s129...

Infectious Disease Modelling starter pack! Suggestions are welcome! go.bsky.app/86Ao1a5
