establishment conducting laboratory, field based and clinical research
in a developing country.
We are recruiting to fill the position below:
Job Title: Senior Scientific Officer (VIDA)
Location: Gambia
Objectives
Diarrhoea is the second leading cause of death among children less than 5
years of age. Global Enteric Multicentre Study (GEMS) demonstrated that
rotavirus was the most common etiology of moderate to severe diarrhoea
(MSD) during the first 2 years of life. Montoring the impact and
effectiveness of programmatic introduction of the rotavirus vaccine in
The Gambia is a high priority.
The impact of vaccine introduction on the epidemiology of diarrheal
diseases will likely extend beyond changes in rotavirus-associated
morbidity and mortality alone; shifts in the predominant pathogens and
adverse outcomes associated with MSD are also expected.
The study is utilizing the established GEMS infrastructure and
methodology to conduct a 36-month case-control study of MSD in The
Gambia to provide a detailed assessment of the changes in incidence,
etiology, and adverse clinical outcomes of MSD that emerge now that the
rotavirus vaccine is in use in The Gambia.
