There is a particular preference for the development and adaptation of new data integration and analytical technologies relevant to emerging infectious diseases in human/animal/interface in the field of surveillance, diagnostics, animal or human epidemiology. You may be engaged in scientific activity ranging from fundamental research to the investigation of specific industry or community problems. You will build and maintain networks, play a lead role in securing project funds, provide scientific leadership and pursue new ideas and approaches that create new concepts. Science Leaders foster a culture of excellence in their teams and peers and provide guidance to our early-career researchers.
