Senior Researcher in Child and Adolescent Health
il y a 2 semaines
The Department of Public Health of the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp (ITM) conducts public health research of international standing, delivers postgraduate education of high quality, and engages in service delivery to advance public health. The department is organized into multidisciplinary research groups, including public health specialists, epidemiologists, and social scientists. Within the Department of Public Health, the **Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) **group aims to contribute to the improvement of sexual, reproductive, and maternal health of populations primarily (but not only) in low resource settings, by collaborations in innovative research, advanced education, policy support and capacity-strengthening. We use quantitative, qualitative and mixed method inter-disciplinary approaches (e.g. epidemiology, sociology, anthropology, psychology, demography) to understand risks and vulnerability as an evidence base towards improving outcomes.
The SRH Group has two units: the HIV and Sexual Health unit and the Maternal and Reproductive Health unit. The research and education portfolio of the Group focuses on understanding drivers of poor SRH, strengthening resilience and mitigating the impact of adverse events on SRH, particularly among populations in vulnerable situations. Current research includes, for example, optimising the implementation of PrEP among priority populations in Belgium and Burkina Faso, and quality of healthcare for pregnant and postpartum women in urban settings. The SRH Group plans to strengthen research related to children and adolescents, as priority populations vulnerable to adverse SRH outcomes, and to strengthen early-life health through optimizing maternal and perinatal care.
Within our dynamic and interdisciplinary Group, there is an exciting opportunity for a senior researcher to establish and lead complementary research and teaching portfolio in the field of **Child and Adolescent Health. **This role entails** **strengthening and expanding the Group’s and Department’s research agenda in this field, as well as contributing to training and scientific capacity strengthening. Topics of research which would in particular strengthen the SRH group and ITM’s policy plan include (but are not necessarily limited to):
- Life-course approaches to child and adolescent health, including nutrition, lifestyle, infections, non-communicable diseases, and fertility.
- Access to high quality preventive and curative care, including (novel) vaccinations.
- Determinants of health and vulnerability (urbanization, gender, climate change).
**Role**
- Contribute to and develop research and education in the field of child and adolescent health
- Collaborate with researchers in the SRH Group, aiming for synergy and joint projects within the broader field of SRH, predominantly in low-resource settings
- Acquire competitive research funding
- Develop partnerships and expand the international reputation and visibility of ITM’s work in this field
- Explore and lead novel research collaborations with Flemish, European and global academic centra and strengthen scientific capacity through relevant research and education activities
- Attract and mentor Masters and PhD students
- Develop and lead teaching activities on child and adolescent health within ITM’s post-graduate courses and the MSc in Public Health
- Provide expert advice to national and international stakeholders in the field
**Profile**
**Required**:
- PhD relevant to the position
- Excellent track record of high-quality, peer-reviewed research on topics related to child and adolescent health, including in SRH, infectious diseases, and/or life-course epidemiology
- Track record of obtaining competitive grants in the field as principal investigator, co-principal investigator or leadership within a proposal, such as work package lead
- Existing network of research collaborators in the field, including in low resource settings
- Strong expertise in quantitave research methods through, for example, implementation and evaluation of health-related interventions
- Leader, mentor, and strong communicator
- Experience with management of professionals
- Excellent knowledge of English, both in writing and speaking
- Genuine alignment with ITM values
**Additional**:
- (Bio)medical degree (clinician, nurse, etc) or related field (pharmacy, nutrition, etc)
- Experience conducting or coordinating qualitative or health systems research
- Experience in postgraduate teaching, and MSc and PhD thesis supervision
- Good command of French and/or Dutch (or otherwise willingness to learn)
**Offer**
- A full-time appointment, with an evaluation after one-year and extension with unlimited duration depending on the outcome of this evaluation. Depending on your record and qualifications, you will be appointed one of the grades of the senior academic staff
- Start date: May 2024 (negotiable)
- An immigration and relocation assistance package
