ITD-DCD The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) is one of the world's leading public health universities. Our mission is to improve health and health equity in the UK and worldwide; working in partnership to achieve excellence in public and global health research, education and translation of knowledge into policy and practice.

The Disease Control Department at LSHTM is searching for a Research Uptake Manager to work on the 'Resilience Against Future Threats' (RAFT) Research Programme Consortium (RPC).

RAFT is funded by FCDO, and its mission is research that will be of practical benefit to national programmes for the control of vector-borne diseases especially malaria.

One strand of our work concerns the arms race against insecticide resistance in African malaria vector mosquitoes, and in particular the process of choosing the most cost-effective insecticidal interventions in the face of complex geographic variation in resistance and a limited amount of epidemiological trial evidence.

The other strand is addressing the more strategic and longer-term threats facing vector control, including the rise of Aedes-borne viruses in Africa, and the effects of anthropogenic land-use changes.

RAFT is a 6-year programme and we are starting our fifth year.

The Consortium partners are the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, the Centre for Research into Infectious Disease Cameroon, the Institut Pierre Richet in Côte d'Ivoire, the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) in Tanzania, the Faculty of Tropical Medicine of Mahidol University in Thailand and the Malaria Consortium.

We are looking for a Research Uptake Manager who will join the team based in LSHTM.

The post holder will develop, implement, monitor and evaluate overarching research uptake (RU) strategy for the RPC to support uptake of evidence and learning from RPC research, and in consultation with RPC managers and Partners.

The post is offered full-time or part-time at 0.8 FTE and is funded by the FCDO fixed term until 30 April 2026.

Please note that if you are shortlisted and are unable to attend on the interview date it may not be possible to offer you an alternative date.
