RVC invites applications for a research assistant position with expertise in the application of statistical and epidemiological methods to tackle microbiological food safety hazards. The position will be based at the Royal Veterinary College and the candidate will work with other members of the Veterinary Epidemiology Economics and Public Health Group, which is part of the Department for Pathobiology and Population Sciences (PPS). The successful candidate will collaborate closely with researchers at the Quadram Institute, contributing to their Strategic Programme on ‘Microbes and Food Safety’. The candidate will appraise and expand existing probabilistic models of exposure to foodborne pathogens and will contribute to the conceptualization and implementation of new models.
