London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine - Faculty of epidemiology and population health, Department of infectious disease epidemiology
An opportunity has arisen for a research fellow in epidemiology to work for the ACT Consortium within the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology. The ACT Consortium is a global research partnership working to maximize the public health impact of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACTs) through high quality, policy driven, multidisciplinary operational research. The post holder will be based at LSHTM and work as a member of the Consortium's core team but will also make visits to collaborating sites overseas. The post holder will work with the core statistician to develop the overall epidemiological and statistical components of the Consortium, and support specific projects. The core team will also help to integrate data from across the consortium so that it can be presented to policymakers with the aim of affecting policy change; this may involve some data management.
The post is suitable for candidates with a postgraduate degree in epidemiology or statistics, public health or a related discipline, preferably with a health component. Applicants should have experience in managing and analysing large and complex datasets, practical experience of epidemiological methods and statistics applied to health, evaluation of complex interventions, strong communication skills, and experience of working in developing countries.
The post is funded full time for a period of 12 months to start as soon as possible, although part time options of at least 0.5 FTE may also be considered. The appointment will be made on the LSHTM Research Fellow scale with a starting salary between £35,511 and £40,349 per annum inclusive.
