Description
OFFER OF INTERNSHIP
Analysis of the impact of lockdown and other
interventions on age-specific contact patterns and behaviours in France over
2020-2021
Institut Pasteur
Context
Many countries implemented general lockdowns and
other non-pharmaceutical interventions of their population to contain the
quickly expanding SARS-CoV-2 epidemic and avoid major saturation of healthcare
capacity. Understanding how these extraordinary measures impacted population
behavior and contact patterns is crucial for predicting the health, social and
economic consequences of such control measures.
Indeed, mathematical models, which have been
key tools to better understand virus epidemiology and support public health
decision making, often rely on empirical data describing the rate at which
individuals mix with each other according to their age. Over the pandemic
period, several surveys have been performed in France to measure and quantify
how the set of measures enforced by the government impacted the mixing patterns
and behaviors of the population.
The goal of
this internship is to analyse the available database (SocialCov) that
represents 80,000 entries over six waves between March 2020 and September 2021.
Objectives
The candidate
will run statistical analysis of the data collected in France during the COVID-19
pandemic namely the SocialCov survey. He/she will also use additional data
sources gathered through other studies conducted during the same time period
and develop an age-structured mathematical model to study how the epidemic's
dynamics are influenced by age group mixing.
The
candidate will develop their skills in data science, dynamic modelling,
computer programming and statistical data analysis. This represents a unique
opportunity for a motivated student to apply their computational skills to real
challenges in public health.
The
candidate will build the models and conduct statistical analyses using R/C++.
Practical information
The
internship will start in early 2020, for a period of 5 to 6 months. It will be
carried out in interaction between the EMEA unit (Institut Pasteur / Inserm /
UVSQ) and the MMI unit (Institut Pasteur).
To apply,
send your CV and motivation letter to Lulla Opatowski (lulla.opatowski@pasteur.fr) and Paolo Bosetti (paolo.bosetti@pasteur.fr).
