The TeamThe goals of IDM's Modeling, Integrated Surveillance, and Translational science (MIST) team are to utilize mechanistic modeling, statistical analyses, and tailored approaches to accelerate impact and optimize systems. We utilize a cross-cutting lens for surveillance and diagnostics to inform disease verticals such as enteric and diarrheal diseases and TB, as well as engagements across AMR, nutrition, and gut microbiome. We aim to develop reusable resources and support capacity strengthening to maximize our impact at the foundation and larger global health community.
Your Role
The Research Scientist will be utilizing modeling approaches to maximize the value of surveillance and diagnostics data for decision-making across local and regional scales. The inherent complexity of these data requires the ability to triangulate policymaker needs, local resources, bias, diagnostic sensitivity and epidemiological dynamics, to feed into models for insight. This role will be to have a ‘wide lens’ to the complexities and site-specific considerations to enable successful surveillance from the ground-up, as well as towards tools and methods that create more opportunities for this data to be included in the feedback loop to policy. As a cross-cutting role, you will engage with disease-specific program and IDM teams, as well as partner deeply with surveillance systems on the ground. This work will contribute to the development of a long-term surveillance initiative at IDM with a focus on innovation, generalizability, and resourcefulness.
