Dear all,
A post-doctoral or research engineer position in the area of **mathematical modelling of antibiotics pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics** is available in our department **in Paris** (INSERM UMR 1137) .
You will work on the Bla Impact project, financed by a grant from the French National Research Agency. This project studies the impact of beta-lactam antibiotics on the intestinal content in beta-lactamases and on the taxonomic structure of the intestinal microbiome. Within this project, you will work on the mathematical modelling of within-hosts antibiotics pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and their impact on the development of bacterial resistance and on the intestinal microbiota.
Applicants should have a PhD in applied mathematics, biostatistics, pharmacometrics or similar degree type. They should have significant computational/programming skills (e.g. R, matlab), as well as experience in modelling and statistics, and excellent communication skills. Experience in working with experimental or clinical data, PK/PD models, and bacteriology/infectious diseases would be an advantage. The 2-year position will take place in the modeling group led by Prof. France Mentré & Dr. Jérémie Guedj ( https://www.iame-research.center/eq4/research-interests/ ), which is part of a larger INSERM unit center devoted to infectious diseases and modelling.
The position will be paid according to the INSERM salary guidelines. It will start as soon as possible, but flexibility on the starting date is possible. Applications will be considered as they are received.
Interested candidates should send their application (CV including list of publications, motivation letter and names of two referees) to Charles Burdet ( [email protected] ) and Jérémie Guedj ( [email protected] ). For more information please contact [email protected] or [email protected] .
