PhD Opportunity: Modelling Bovine Tuberculosis Transmission

We are inviting applications for a fully funded 4-year PhD project at UCD, beginning in September 2025, titled “The transmission of bovine tuberculosis: deciphering biological mechanisms with statistical and mechanistic models.” This interdisciplinary project, supervised by Dr Miriam Casey (Veterinary Medicine) and Dr Michael Fop (Mathematics & Statistics), uses dynamic transmission of infection modelling and statistical techniques to better understand and control the spread of bovine TB in Ireland. The successful applicant will receive an annual stipend of €25,000, plus an additional €4,000 for training, travel and equipment, with PhD fees fully covered.
