Group Leader in DDLS Epidemiology and Biology of Infection
Together with The Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS) and the SciLifeLab & Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS), Umeå University is looking for an excellent young life science or computational researcher to become Group Leader. Fellowships are targeted towards applicants to start their first independent group within a few years of their PhD. We offer generous funding for up to 9 years, conditional upon favorable review after four years.
Data-driven epidemiology and biology of infection covers research that will transform our understanding of pathogens, their interactions with hosts and the environment, and how they are transmitted through populations. Research will have a strong focus on computational analysis or predictive modeling of pathogen biology or host-microbe systems for which multidimensional, genome scale experimental data are now available, or it may use population scale genetic, clinical, or public health data from pathogen surveillance efforts and biobanks.
Application period closes: 11 May 2025. Find full description and apply here.

Groundbreaking malaria research could save millions of lives
Every minute a child dies of malaria somewhere in the world. This is a statistic that Professor Oliver Billker, MIMS Director, Umeå University, is determined to change. As a Wallenberg Scholar, he is heading a groundbreaking research project on the malaria parasite and its complex interaction with the mosquitoes that spread it.
