Position: CALL FOR APPLICATIONS Demographer

Role Summary

This position is part of the Catalysing the Adoption of a Novel Vector Control Toolbox (CANVeCT) project, a multidisciplinary study in Cameroon designed to evaluate the effectiveness of spatial repellents (SRs) in reducing malaria transmission and influencing insecticide resistance profiles compared with dual-active ingredient long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs).

 

Funded by Unitaid, the project integrates epidemiology, entomology, mathematical modelling, social science, and health economics to generate strong evidence for the inclusion of SRs as a core tool in malaria control and elimination. It is implemented in close partnership with the National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) and international institutions including the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM).

Recognizing the importance of demographic data in understanding malaria transmission dynamics and intervention impacts, the project requires a dedicated Demographer to support data collection, analysis, and evidence translation.
