Occasionally student opportunities are available within the Initiative for the Forecasting and Modeling of Infectious Disease where students can gain vital career experience and contribute to our mission of improving the quality of bio-medical research.

Post-Doctoral Research Associates:
Researchers who have recently obtained their degrees in some form of quantitative or applied field of biology, medicine, sociology, public health, mathematics or statistics are welcome to inquire about potential positions and opportunities for collaboration. It is of especial importance for these researchers to propose their own set of questions and to bring their unique expertise to the already established projects within the Initiative.

Graduate Students:
Graduate students with strong statistical, mathematical background can develop data analysis strategies using their experience in and knowledge of statistical principles. They manage and analyze large volumes of data using bio-statistics research methodologies, gives suggestions to other members of the core research group on issues of statistical validity. The student has the understanding of research design issues and an expert understanding of the statistical techniques for dealing with clustered data; and time series analysis.

Undergraduate Students:
Undergraduates with a strong background in mathematics, biology, computer science or public health have the opportunity to work on independent, directed research projects and gain experience in the public health research process as a part of larger InForMID research initiatives. These projects may become part of undergraduate research thesis or class.

High School Students:
Qualified High School students are encouraged to take part in supervised entry-level research, performing literature searches, data entry and basic data analysis and presentation. During the course of the program, students conduct research under the supervision of a faculty mentor. They present the results of their projects at a poster presentation at the end of the summer.
