If you are interested in continuing graduate studies in Computational Epidemiology, please indicate this in the research statement of your application and highlight your intention to join the ABM-Lab. A minimum GPA of A in applied or computational mathematics is required to become a member of this lab.
Interested applicants should send their applications through standard admission process at York University (Graduate Studies).
Questions regarding your eligibility for PhD/MSc should be addressed to the graduate program.
The ABM-Lab recruits graduate students (MSc/PhD), and postdoctoral fellows with a broad interest in areas related to modelling infectious diseases and its application to public health policy and decision-making. For a postdoc position, a PhD degree in applied mathematical sciences or other fields related to health sciences with statistical background is required. Applicants should have a solid knowledge and practical experience with computational systems, and show fluency in a coding language (preferably Julia).
For graduate studies, particular emphasis will be on computational epidemiology, involving modelling, analysis, and large-scale simulations of biological systems. The program will provide a solid theoretical background in biological systems, and include curricula in computational mathematics, pathogen-host dynamics, inference and data analytics, stochastic modelling and simulations, network theory, agent-based modelling, and health economics. The program will provide an enriched environment for research and training with significant networking activities and collaboration across disciplines.
