Research Associate Population Genomics of Emerging Infections

Imperial College London -Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology

School of Public Health
Salary Range £28,200 - £40,720 per annum
Applications are invited to join the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology located at the St Mary's campus, Paddington. The department is based within a five star research institute equipped with the latest technologies and facilities. DIDE is arguably the largest grouping of infectious disease epidemiologists in the world with a very wide range of skills represented, from experimental studies on bacterial/fungal pathogens, through population genetics and infectious disease modelling to field work on emerging infectious disease. As such, the Department offers excellent research facilities and a friendly, intellectually stimulating, working environment.
Emerging fungal infections are attracting increasing scientific and policy interest as their impact on human and ecosystem health becomes more pronounced (see Nature 484 2012). This Research Associate post is funded by a 3-year MRC project grant, entitled 'An evolutionary population genomics approach to determine the genetic basis of virulence in the pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans', and seeks to understand the evolutionary basis underlying this pathogen's emergence as a leading cause of human disease in Africa and South East Asia.
The post holder will join a multidisciplinary team of researchers that are using statistical genetic and functional genomic approaches to identify the patterns and processes that have led to contemporary distributions of genetic diversity for emerging pathogenic fungi, with a focus on Cryptococcus. The post-holder will have a key role in study design and will develop a state-of-the-art bioinformatics pipeline for assembling next-generation sequence data from a global panel of environmental and clinical Cryptococcus isolates. These data will be used for statistical genetic, phylodynamic and evolutionary analyses with the ultimate goal of defining the subset of genetic diversity that is associated with virulence and spatial-expansion of key lineages of Cryptococcus. Key responsibilities will be to develop cutting-edge approaches to managing large eukaryote population genomics datasets, and to liaise with our international collaborators in order to effectively share and curate genome-data.
The successful candidate will have a strong bioinformatic, evolutionary or statistical genetics background with a PhD degree or equivalent in a relevant quantitative subject.
This post is a full time and fixed term until 31^st July 2015.

Postdoctoral Researcher in the Economics of HIV University of Oxford

CSAE, Department of Economics, Manor Road, Oxford
Grade 7: £29,249 - £35,938 p.a.
The Centre for the Study of African Economies at the Department of Economics, University of Oxford, is seeking to appoint a full-time postdoctoral researcher in health economics, specializing in the economics of HIV. The role is available for three years in the first instance. This post will be funded by the Rush Foundation, which has asked the Centre for the Study of African Economies to lead a three-year collaborative research programme aimed at developing a compelling policy framework to improve HIV resource allocation. The primary target for this research will be policy-makers in sub-Saharan Africa, especially finance ministries. The CSAE is ideally positioned to lead the integration of HIV economic research into a broader policy framework which reaches outside the existing, largely donor-based funding channels.
The successful applicant will work as the junior member of a team led by the CSAE Senior Researcher in the Economics of HIV, and by the CSAE Director Professor Paul Collier. The team will work to build a network of collaborative research into economic aspects of HIV, to which other institutions, such as the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the HIV Modelling Consortium led by Imperial College, London will also contribute.
The overall objective of this programme of research is to help develop economic approaches that will improve resource allocation for the more effective tackling of the challenges posed by HIV in sub-Saharan Africa, with a particular focus on the increasingly important area of the allocation of domestic resources and hence on decisions for which Finance as well as Health Ministries are responsible.
The CSAE approach is to conduct research that is potentially strategic, and to build networks which enable the ideas generated through this research to be seeded. By strategic, we mean research that has the potential for macro-significant economic change.
The closing date is 12.00 noon on 15 October 2012.
