CENTRE FOR INTERNATIONAL HEALTH
DIVISION OF HEALTH SCIENCES
About the Centre
The Centre for International Health is based in, and works across, the Division of Health Sciences. We are a core component of the cross-Divisional Otago Global Health Institute (OGHI), an official University of Otago Research Centre with >140 members, with the goal of fostering multi-disciplinary global health research. We facilitate and promote research to contribute to the understanding and improvement of health in collaboration with partners in under-resourced countries, while focusing on postgraduate training and strategic mentorship of future leaders.
The role - Te mahi
We are seeking a Research Fellow to conduct a one year Gates Foundation funded project that will characterise field-lab link studies in tuberculosis over the last 20 years in relation to samples and data of relevance, gauge investigator willingness to engage in more global collaboration around these resources, and explore possibilities for a regularly updated user-friendly inventory to serve the global research community in solving fundamental questions.
This project will be done in collaboration with world-leading experts in field-lab link studies in TB and who are part of the Gates Foundation's Consortium for tuberculosis vaccine discovery (CTVD). Aspects of this role will involve facilitating a process to enhance connections between world-leading tuberculosis initiatives globally and the possibility of enabling new questions to be addressed, including some on a scale not possible before. Depending on the researcher's own expertise, there may be opportunity to explore his/her own research questions over the course of the year, related to the overall project.
This position represents an exciting opportunity to spend a year in New Zealand, build connections with the global tuberculosis research community and lay a foundation for future research and collaboration.
Skills and experience - Kā pūkeka me kā wheako

- Experience in tuberculosis research with understanding of the needs and potential of bio- and data- archiving in field-lab link studies to facilitate new analyses to make scientific breakthroughs.
- Experience on projects that involve low-resource settings.
- Ability to work effectively as a member of a team and independently.
