Post-Doctoral Fellow for Climate-Sensitive Vector-Borne Disease Risk (ref. no. CARE-C_PDF_25_06)

Deadline for applications: 28/05/2025

Application process open *

The Cyprus Institute (CyI) is a European non-profit, Science- and Technology-oriented Educational and Research Institution, based in Cyprus and governed by an acclaimed Board of Directors. The research agenda of the CyI is pursued at its five Research Centres, namely:

1. The Computation-based Science and Technology Research Centre (CaSToRC) 
2. The Science and Technology in Archaeology and Culture Research Centre (STARC)
3. The Energy Environment Water Research Centre (EEWRC)
4. The Climate and Atmosphere Research Centre (CARE-C) 
5. The Science and Technology Driven Policy and Innovation Research Centre (STeDI-RC)

Considerable cross-centre interaction is a characteristic of the Institute’s scientific ethos.

The Cyprus Institute invites applications for a highly qualified and motivated Researcher to join the Institute’s CARE-C Centre of Excellence, Impacts and Policy Department (IPD) on a full-time basis (100% FTE) for its premises at Athalassa’s Campus.

The selected candidate will join a research team that aims to support early warning systems against vector-borne diseases using climate-sensitive population dynamics and disease transmission modelling.

The successful candidate will engage in the Climate-Driven Vector-Borne Disease Risk Assessment (VEClim) project, which aims to develop a web-based geographic information and decision support platform to inform the public and enable the design of efficient, cost-effective, and ecologically sound and sustainable vector control measures to prevent future outbreaks and spreading of vector-borne infectious diseases.

Position Specific Responsibilities/activities:

1. Contributing to the development of the VEClim Platform (https://veclim.com), climate-sensitive vector population and disease transmission model repository, and the environmental variables and vector surveillance databases.
2. Performing internationally competitive scientific research through climate-sensitive vector dynamics and vector-borne disease transmission modelling.
