Job Summary
We are seeking an Advanced Research Fellow to act as a scientific coordinator for a new Measles Analytics Hub within the Vaccine Impact Modelling Consortium (VIMC, www.vaccineimpact.org). VIMC is a major collaborative initiative with a budget of over £13.8 million from 2022 to 2027. Our consortium works with mathematical modellers, epidemiologists, policymakers, and global health partners across the world, to provide high-quality estimates of the public health impact of vaccination, to inform and improve decision making.
You will be based within the VIMC secretariat at Imperial College London’s world-class School of Public Health, on our new White City campus.
This exciting new opportunity arises from a grant supplement from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. VIMC’s new Measles Analytics Hub aims to enhance the measles modelling ecosystem by leveraging and enhancing VIMC’s existing work to coordinate and support policy-relevant analytics and be more inclusive of modelers in low- and middle-income countries. The Hub will identify and address global and regional level questions and will also support select sub-regional and high-impact country facing measles (and potentially rubella) modelling work. You will coordinate the activities of the Hub, working with multiple partners to facilitate a dynamic exchange between measles programme/policy stakeholders and modellers. You will work closely with the elected co-Chairs of the Hub, who will provide high-level scientific leadership. In addition, you will be expected to co-author and submit publications to refereed journals.
The post will suit a candidate with excellent modelling and coordination skills who wants to support international research collaborations with a real-world impact.
