LONDON SCHOOL OF HYGIENE & TROPICAL MEDICINE
GATES MALARIA PROGRAMME
Research fellowships in malaria research and control
Applications from scientists from malaria endemic countries are
invited for three year research fellowships in areas related to the
control of malaria. These fellowships are supported by a generous
award from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to the London
School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). Fellows will be
attached to LSHTM but may spend a substantial period of their
fellowship in a malaria endemic area when this is necessary for their
research, and will be strongly encouraged to maintain their home
links. Fellowships may be held in any area of laboratory, clinical,
entomological, epidemiological or social science relevant to the
control of malaria. Non-clinical candidates must have a doctoral
degree (Ph.D. or equivalent) in a relevant area of science, clinical
applicants should have a postgraduate qualification and some
previous experience of research. Prior experience of research in
malaria is desirable but not essential.
Further information about the malaria programme at LSHTM may be
seen on the Malaria Centre web page
(www.lshtm.ac.uk/organisation/centres/malaria ). Further details
can be obtained from
www.lshtm.ac.uk/organisation/centres/malaria/gateshome.html.
Applications may be submitted at any time up to 31 August 2002,
details on how to apply can be found in the further details. Receipt
of applications will be confirmed by e-mail together with details on
how your application will be processed.
Sections 6 and 7(4) of the UK Race Relations Act apply.
Ph.D./DrPH studentships
Applications are invited for a number of Ph.D. or DrPH studentships
to be held at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
(LSHTM), the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM), the
Centre for Medical Parasitology, University of Copenhagen (CMP)
and the Danish Bilharziasis Laboratory (DBL) as a component of a
generous award by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to
develop centres of excellence in malaria research, teaching and
control of Africa. Research projects may be undertaken in any area
of clinical, field, social science or associated laboratory work that is
relevant to the control of malaria. Scholarships cover home fees,
living expenses as appropriate, some research expenses and may
include a re-entry grant. Applicants must have a good first degree in
a relevant subject, for study in the UK this should be the equivalent
of an upper second class honours or above degree. The
studentships are only open to applicants from malaria endemic
countries, applications are encouraged from those involved in
malaria control.
