    As part of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), the Institute for Disease Modeling's (IDM) mission is to support global efforts to eradicate infectious diseases and achieve permanent improvements in health by developing, using, and sharing computational modeling tools and promoting quantitative decision-making.

    The IDM team is composed of research scientists and software developers who develop and prototype computational tools to advise on global health and development policy and identify and address critical knowledge gaps.

    IDM is a multifaceted organization with a work environment defined by innovation and teamwork.

    As part of our work, we routinely collaborate with groups at the World Health Organization, UNAIDS, the Centers for Disease Control, PATH, ministries of health, as well as universities and research institutes across the globe.

    PhD in machine learning, natural language processing, or computational linguistics, with 10 years of professional experience.
    Recognized as an expert within and outside of the organization in the field of artificial intelligence.
