The post-holder will be funded for 18 months through a research grant from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) in the UK on an interdisciplinary and collaborative project with Public Health England, Fudan University and China CDC to use epidemiological methods including literature reviews, mathematical modelling and health economics to inform vaccination policy in China.
