3 Post-doc Positions @ University of Queensland - School of Population Health - reg.,

3 Post-doc Positions @ University of Queensland - School of Population Health - reg.,Three Post-Doctoral positions - Papua New Guinea (Epidemiology M & E, Health Systems, Social/Public Health)Applications close: 11 September 2009In the next 5 years, the National Malarial Control Program (NMCP) aims to intensify the control of malaria in Papua New Guinea through the introduction of artemininin-combination treatment (ACTs), the improvement of diagnostic and curative services and the distribution of long lasting insecticide treated bednets (LLINs). As part of this Global Fund for AIDS, TB & Malaria (GFATM) funded program, the PNG Institute of Medical Research (PNG IMR) has been contracted by the PNG National Department of Health to conduct independent Monitoring & Evaluation of the outcomes and impact of the NMCP. This will be achieved by conducting regular national-wide malaria and health systems indicator surveys and establishing a national network of sentinel sites to monitor longitudinal trends in malaria prevalence & incidence, drug resistance, quality of diagnosis and treatment, coverage & use of LLINs and community behavioural change in regards to malaria control.This M&E program will be supplemented through the conduct of targeted operational research studies addressing major challenges encountered in the delivery of the main NMCP intervention programs. The research program will be carried out by 3 senior researchers, supported by a group of junior researchers and field staff. Besides its crucial function of informing the NMCP and GFATM on program progress, these studies also provide a unique opportunity to conduct in-depth research on the impact of intensified malarial control on the epidemiology of malaria, the delivery of health services in rural areas and/or studies on knowledge, attitude and practices in relation to malaria treatment and control. The proposed research program thus provides a unique opportunity to combine operational and in-depth research approaches in close collaboration with a national malaria control program.1.
