WiLiMan-ID partner INRAE is recruiting a permanent researcher at BIOEPAR (Nantes, France) on a competitive basis. This profile, part of the DYNAMO team, focuses on multi-scale epidemiological modelling: interactions between intra-individual viral dynamics and population epidemic dynamics.

Position requirements:
- PhD or equivalent;
- Specialisation or experience in mechanistic modelling at several scales is desirable, if possible applied to the dynamics of a biological system;
- Research experience at the interface between biomathematics and fundamental biology is an advantage;
- Having developed an academic network in biomathematics will strengthen the team’s network of collaborations in formal sciences;
- Fluency in English is essential. Long-term international experience is desirable.
Position benefits:
- 30 days of annual leave + 15 days “Reduction of Working Time” (for a full time);
