PHP-PHES The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine is a worldleading centre for research and postgraduate education in public and global health. 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.

We are seeking a Research Fellow to work on the HCV combination prevention project in people who inject drugs and prisoners (HepC3P).

The HepC3P project will generate evidence on innovative interventions including long acting depot buprenorphine (an opioid agonist therapy) and low-dead space syringes to prevent hepatitis C.

Although this post is based in London, travel to project sites including Ukraine, Nigeria, Vietnam, South Africa and India will be necessary.

The consortium is led by Path with Population Services International (PSI), LSHTM and the University of Bristol.

You will support the evaluation by developing country-level protocols, designing research instruments, supporting data collection and undertaking statistical analyses of prospective cohort data and routine programmatic data.

The post-holder will need to have a postgraduate degree, ideally a doctoral degree, in a relevant topic, evidence of good organizational skills, including effective time management, and experience and demonstrated expertise in quantitative or survey research experience involving primary data collection or analyses of existing datasets (e.g. health service records or programmatic data). Further particulars are included in the job description.

The post is full-time 35 hours per week, 1 FTE and fixed term for two years. The post is funded by UNITAID and is available immediately.

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.
