In this role, you will be tasked with leading the Digital Epidemiology workstream within the GHRU2 project in assessing and implementing data flow interventions into national genomic AMR ecosystems. You will also be responsible for communicatiing regularly with the principal investigator and the project managers on progress and developments, ensuring they are kept entirely up to date with progress and difficulties in the research projects.
To be successful in this role, you will hold a PhD/DPhil in a relevant subject such as biological sciences, bioinformatics, computer sciences, with post-qualification research experience, along with experience in high-throughput data analysis, integration and interpretation in pathogen genomics and antimicrobial resistance across a broad range of WHO priority pathogens. You will also have the ability to work closely with others while taking personal responsibility for assigned tasks as well as excellent interpersonal skills, communication skills, and the ability to self-guide and work collaboratively with team members.
Applications for this vacancy are to be made online and you will be required to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your online application. Your supporting statement must explain how you meet each of the selection criteria for the post using examples of your skills and experience.
