What is a vector borne disease?

A Vector Borne Disease job involves studying, monitoring, and controlling diseases transmitted by vectors such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Professionals in this field work in public health, research, or environmental science to track outbreaks, develop prevention strategies, and educate communities. They may work for government agencies, health organizations, or research institutions to mitigate the spread of diseases like malaria, dengue, and Lyme disease. Responsibilities can include field surveillance, data analysis, and implementing vector control programs.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the vector borne disease position?

To thrive in a Vector Borne Disease role, you need expertise in epidemiology, public health, and disease surveillance, typically supported by an advanced degree in a related field. Familiarity with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), data analysis software, and vector control methodologies is often required, along with relevant certifications in public health or entomology. Strong analytical skills, collaboration, and clear communication are essential soft skills for coordinating with health teams and community partners. These competencies are critical for effectively monitoring, controlling, and preventing outbreaks of vector borne diseases in diverse populations.

What does a vector borne disease professional do?

Professionals in vector borne disease roles often conduct field surveillance to monitor vector populations, analyze epi-data for outbreak trends, and implement control measures such as larvicide application or public health education campaigns. You may work closely with local health departments, laboratories, and community organizations to coordinate interventions and share findings. Routine tasks also include preparing technical reports, assisting with emergency response plans, and staying current with new research and policy updates. This role offers a mix of fieldwork, laboratory coordination, and community engagement, making adaptability and strong organizational skills valuable assets.

Job description

We are seeking a Biostatistician/Modeler who can develop statistical tools to analyze infectious disease dynamics. This project will focus on the use of various data sets (human behavior, genomics, serological status, and epidemiological information) to predict the spatial and temporal dynamics of vector-borne (malaria, dengue) and vaccine-preventable (SARS-CoV-2, measles, rubella) diseases. The position will require the development, evaluation, and investigation of statistical frameworks to understand disease transmission and ultimately inform public health policy.
The Biostatistician will analyze large-scale, longitudinal data. Analyzed data is abstracted and extracted from electronic health records, laboratory and pharmacy databases, and patient reported outcomes surveys.
The Biostatistician will provide expertise on statistical design, data management (including data quality control), and data analyses to answer research questions using observational and longitudinal data. The Biostatistician will participate as a coauthor on manuscripts and presentations reporting study results.
Specific Duties & Responsibilities
  • Use and expand existing SAS and R programs to clean and organize incoming JHHCC and CNICS data.
  • Identify potential problems with study data and collaborate with data managers to resolve issues.
  • Read concept sheets and draft statistical analysis plans specific to research objectives.
  • Generate analytic data sets, codebooks, and other documentation.
  • Analyze individual-level data to answer scientific questions of interest.
  • Prepare data tables and figures for publication and presentation at scientific meetings.
  • Contribute to technical/scientific writing and review drafts of concept sheets, reports, posters, and manuscripts, particularly descriptions of statistical methods and interpretation of results.
  • Document decision making during conduct of studies and archive code for purposes of reproducibility of research findings.
  • Navigate shared files and contribute to shared files to create a transparent research workspace.
  • Assist with writing approach section of research proposals.
  • Attend meetings and provide status updates on data processing and research projects.
  • Use professional judgment in handling sensitive information.
  • Other duties as assigned.

In addition to the duties described above
  • Developing infectious disease transmission models in R, big data' management, and model fitting.
  • Writing scientific manuscripts, public health reports, and scientific presentations.

Minimum Qualifications
  • Master's Degree in Biostatistics, Epidemiology, or related quantitative field.
  • Additional education may substitute for required experience, and additional related experience may substitute for required education beyond a high school diploma/graduation equivalent, to the extent permitted by the JHU equivalency formula.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience working on spatial transmission models.
  • Knowledge of infectious disease epidemiology.
  • Experience working on the epidemiology of vaccine-preventable diseases.
  • Experience in advanced biostatistical and mathematical methods and experience developing and using statistical models, particularly those related to vaccine-preventable, vector-borne diseases and/or general infectious disease epidemiology.

Technical Skills & Expected Level of Proficiency
  • Biostatistical Analysis - Developing
  • Data Management and Analysis - Developing
  • Data Validation and Quality Assurance - Developing
  • Data Visualization - Developing
  • Regulatory Compliance - Developing
  • Reproducible Research Practices - Developing
  • Scientific Communication - Developing

About Johns Hopkins University

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

Gilman believed that teaching and research go hand in hand—that success in one depends on success in the other—and that a modern university must do both well. He also believed that sharing our knowledge and discoveries would help make the world a better place. In 145 years, we haven’t strayed from that vision. This is still a destination for excellent, ambitious scholars and a world leader in teaching and research. Distinguished professors mentor students in the arts and music, humanities, social and natural sciences, engineering, international studies, education, business, and the health professions. Those same faculty members, along with their colleagues at the university’s Applied Physics Laboratory, have made us the nation’s leader in federal research and development funding every year since 1979. That’s a fitting distinction for America’s first research university, a place that has revolutionized higher education in the U.S. and continues to bring knowledge and discoveries to the world.
