CSRC Employment and Student OpportunitiesPh.D. Student Opportunities in Geospatial Technology, Modeling and Ecology of Infectious DiseasesWe seek two highly motivated Ph.D. graduate students to participate in an interdisciplinary project that focuses on ecology and risk assessment of infectious diseases (Lyme disease) in New Hampshire and neighboring states. This project is supported with a new 3-year (1/1/2008 - 12/31/2010) research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and aims to integrate geospatial technology, mathematical models and epidemiology. The research team at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) is composed of faculty members from (1) the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans and Space; (2) the College of Health and Human Services; and (3) the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Candidates with a background in infectious diseases, geospatial technology and mathematical and statistical modeling, are encouraged to apply. The candidates may enroll in the campus-wide Ph.D. program in the Natural Resources and Earth System Science (http://www.unh.edu/nressphd/) or the Ph.D. program at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Additional information regarding our activities in geospatial technology, modeling and disease ecology (e.g., avian influenza) can be found at http://remotesensing.unh.edu and http://www.eos.unh.edu. Interested candidates should contact Professors Xiangming Xiao and Bobby Braswell (xiangming.xiao@unh.edu; rob.braswell@unh.edu; geospatial technology), Ernst Linder (elinder@cisunix.unh.edu; statistical modeling), and Jason Stull and Rosemary Caron (Jason.stull@dhhs.state.nh.us; rosemary.caron@unh.edu; disease ecology and public health). |
