The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s Division of Parasitic Diseases and Malaria announces three career opportunities for Medical Officers and Epidemiologists (GS-14 level, Commissioned Corps 0-5) to serve as CDC Resident Advisor for the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea (Conakry) and Mali. The Advisors will help design, implement and evaluate key malaria prevention and control activities in close coordination with the host government and national and international partners, including the non-governmental and private sectors. This is a chance to contribute to one of PMI’s most successful country programs (Mali), or to PMI’s newest countries (DRC and Guinea). All provide excellent opportunities for direct collaboration with National Malaria Control Programs, numerous international and non-governmental organizations, and local malaria and entomology research institutions. More information on PMI, as well as copies of the FY 2011 Malaria Operational Plans for DR Congo and Mali, are available at www.pmi.gov.
Qualified candidates should have a strong background and interest in field epidemiology, monitoring and evaluation, surveillance, public health program implementation, demonstrated effective diplomatic and communications skills, and at least 1-2 years’ public health experience in an international, developing country setting. French language proficiency is required.
