Job Overview
The Foundation is seeking a highly skilled Disease Modeling Expert to join the Institute for Disease Modeling (IDM) at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. As a key member of the Scientific Engineering, Architecture and Technology Accelerator (SEATAC) team, you will play a vital role in advancing the development of innovative modeling approaches that address complex scientific challenges.

This role combines a scientific focus on dynamical systems modeling with the practical implementation of scalable software solutions. You will design, prototype, and scale computational models to advance understanding in areas such as disease dynamics, immune responses, and population systems. Your work will directly support the SEATAC team's mission to catalyze the uptake of new approaches and normalize them as improved standards within IDM and the broader modeling community.

As a technical leader, you will collaborate across interdisciplinary teams, empowering researchers to adopt scientifically rigorous, production-ready methodologies. This position requires strong expertise in mathematical modeling, dynamical systems, calibration techniques, and complex data types. You will also have the opportunity to mentor teammates and lead the dissemination of findings through publications, workshops, and collaborative tools.

Responsibilities
  • Innovative model development: Collaborate on designing template immune models, prototype superinfection architectures, and develop spatial meta-population modeling approaches.
  • Tool and workflow development: Build reusable utilities and packages in Python and R, integrate model calibration workflows into tutorial vignettes, and identify emerging technology patterns.
  • Collaboration and leadership: Partner with disease experts, software engineers, and interdisciplinary teams to align research objectives with practical solutions.


Your Experience
  • Advanced degree (PhD preferred) and 5+ years of experience in computational modeling, quantitative sciences, or related field.
  • Proficiency in Python, R, and scientific modeling frameworks, with experience developing reusable utilities and packages for other scientists.
  • Strong foundation in mathematical modeling, dynamical systems, calibration techniques, and complex data types.
  • Proven experience working in collaborative interdisciplinary teams, translating research needs into actionable solutions.
  • Strong mentorship and teaching skills, with a demonstrated ability to lead technical workflows.


What We Offer
  • Estimated salary range $204,600 - $317,100 USD based on location and experience.
  • Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, paid family leave, and retirement contribution.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and development in a dynamic and diverse work environment.
  • Chance to work on cutting-edge projects that address global health challenges.
