The global distribution of dengue is poorly known. This package of work defined for our participation in IDAMS has three broad aims. First, to develop a contemporary dengue occurrence map at a global scale. Second, to investigate the potential impact of environmental change on this distribution and provide occurrence maps for 2020, 2050 and 2080. Third, to extend the science of dengue risk mapping by demonstrating, in Vietnam, that it is possible to measure and thus map the endemic seroprevalence of the disease and that this can be used as a rational guide to control. Put simply this post is responsible for implementing the technical mapping development underpinning this vision.

The IDAMS (International Research Consortium on Dengue Risk Assessment, Management and Surveillance) is a collaborative project of 15 participants funded by the EU for the comprehensive control of dengue fever under changing climatic conditions. It is coordinated by Dr Thomas Jaenisch, Heidelberg University Hospital. Dr Simon I Hay is lead of work package 4 of this project: Global dengue occurrence ? present and future.

The successful candidate must have a first or upper second class Bachelor degree and a postgraduate degree (PhD or equivalent) in epidemiology or a related subject.

Only applications received before midday on Monday 6 February 2012 can be considered.

You will be required to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your online application.
