Applications are invited to commence a PhD at the Australian Institute of Tropical Health and Medicine at James Cook University, Australia. The PhD research opportunity will focus on the development and application of novel genomic modelling methods (i.e., phylodynamics) to understand the dynamics of infectious disease transmission in aquaculture production systems. The project is embedded within a larger Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Researcher Award program on the development of phylodynamic modelling methods that enable the improved management and mitigation of emerging and endemic infectious diseases. Successful applicants will be invited to contribute to this broader research program, which will be conducted with collaborative networks throughout Australia, South-East Asia and Europe.
