A full-time two-year position as postdoc working on evaluating the real-life effects of introducing new vaccines into the childhood vaccination programme in Guinea-Bissau is vacant at the Department of Clinical Research, SDU.
The postdoc is expected to start 1. November 2021 or soon after and is expected to end 31. October 2023.
Bandim Health Project has conducted research based on a health and demographic surveillance system in Guinea-Bissau since 1978 (www.bandim.org). Findings from Guinea-Bissau and elsewhere indicate that vaccines in addition to protecting against the targeted infections have broader, non-specific effects (NSEs) and alter the susceptibility to a wide range of infections. This implies that we should also evaluate vaccines and vaccination programmes for their overall health effects.
Our cross-disciplinary team in Guinea-Bissau works on making this possible (see: https://www.vaccineschildhealth.com). New vaccines (a second dose of measles vaccine and a meningitis A vaccine) will soon be introduced in the Guinean childhood vaccination programme.
We seek a postdoc who will contribute to assessing the health effects of introducing these vaccines and to building a platform for future evaluations of health interventions extending beyond the health and demographic surveillance system (https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/9/6/e028775 ).
We are looking for a candidate with an interest in global health research, a strong methodological background (documented through prior experience with planning, implementing, analysing, and reporting epidemiological studies) and with an ability to work both independently and in teams. Experience with supervision, data management and data collection is an advantage.
As a postdoc, you will join the ambitious Bissau-based research team, led by Associate Professor Ane Fisker.
The group currently consists of four PhD students and two master students all working on assessing and improving real-life effects of health interventions. Funding from Lundbeck Foundation enables expanding the research team. In Guinea-Bissau, you will be involved in fieldwork, overseeing ongoing data collection, and implementing and overseeing new data collection as well as reporting the results. Furthermore, we prioritise capacity building and as a postdoc, you will be involved in the supervision of research students.
Potential applicants must be postdoc-qualified in accordance with Ministerial Order on Job Structure for Academic Staff at Universities.
