We are seeking to appoint a Research Fellow to join the Infectious Disease Epidemiology & Dynamics department at LSHTM to work on polio eradication. This role utilises global surveillance data for polio to inform understanding of the status of eradication and develop research that can inform policy in this important area. The candidate should have a background in a quantitative subject, in particular epidemiology or medical statistics and be familiar with the use of mathematical modelling of infectious diseases. The post-holder will work closely with partners within the Global Polio Eradication Initiative to ensure that research is focused towards supporting eradication goals. Epidemiologic analyses will be carried out to provide assessment of key metrics with the potential to lead data collection in relevant countries.
