HJFMRI is seeking to recruit a Deputy Director for Science for an anticipated U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement for Advancing Public Health Research in Kenya. The purpose of the consortium is to conduct and/or facilitate epidemiologic studies and surveillance, clinical research, clinical trials, laboratory, and operations research on infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, and environmental health in Kenya to better understand disease burden, risk factors, and effective interventions to influence policy and decrease morbidity and mortality.
Job Summary
The Deputy Director for Science will be responsible for the oversight of research and administrative core activities which support HJFMRI’s Consortium for Advancing Public Health Research in Kenya (HJFMRI Consortium) as funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The purpose of the consortium is to conduct and/or facilitate epidemiologic studies and surveillance, clinical research, clinical trials, laboratory, and operations research on infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, and environmental health in Kenya to better understand disease burden, risk factors, and effective interventions to influence policy and decrease morbidity and mortality.
The incumbent will coordinate research and monitoring activities among the consortium members, the Government of Kenya (GOK) and other participating institutions/labs in the areas of infectious and non-infectious disease and epidemiology/surveillance. In this capacity the incumbent will integrate consortium members, GOK participating institutions, and other collaborators into a cohesive team to meet research objectives and award deliverables. The incumbent will directly supervise and support elements of the team to ensure deliverables regarding lab development, capacity building and operations are met. Although direct supervision of protocols is vested in the consortium and GOK facility PIs, it is expected that the incumbent will closely support protocols and publications. In particular, the incumbent will work closely with the consortium’s PIs to support their research efforts and contribute to the strength of the science and translation of the work for public consumption and for application to local/national policy. The incumbent will be responsible for the management of the performance of consortium sub awardees focused on executing the research under this cooperative agreement, overseeing the execution of the management plan and serving as a key point of contract to the funding agency on many technical matters of the award.
