Job Opportunity at Ifakara Health Institute

Job Opportunity at Ifakara Health Institute (IHI), Research Scientist

VACANT POSITION.- RESEARCH SCIENTIST
LOCATION: IFAKARA
Ifakara Health Institute (IHI) is a leading research organization in Africa, with a strong
track record in developing, testing and validating innovations for health. Driven by a core
strategic mandate for research, training and services, the institute’s work now spans a wide
spectrum, covering biomedical and ecological sciences, intervention studies, healthsystems
research and policy translation. The specific project will be conducted within the
Department of Environmental Health and Ecological Sciences (EHES): EHES group hosts
our malaria vector research programs, and there are numerous opportunities for
enthusiastic researchers to establish a viable career with medium to long-term agenda. This
vibrant group currently has 20 postdoctoral scientists and collaborators, mostly in their 30s
and early 40s, plus about 20 post-graduate students, collectively working on the ecology
and prevention of mosquito-borne illnesses, water and sanitation related illnesses and
malnutrition. The research team will benefit from the ongoing research expertise around
malaria elimination agenda. Over the past decade, malaria endemic countries, together with
international partners, have achieved significant gains constituting more than 50% reduction
in malaria prevalence and tenfold reduction in actual transmission in several countries,
including Tanzania. Improved living standards, overall reduction in childhood illnesses,
urbanization, improved diagnosis, greater access to appropriate medicines, but most
importantly the scale-up of effective vector control using insecticide treated bed nets (ITNs)
and indoor residual spraying (IRS), are recognized as the major causes of this decline. We
are now at a stage where malaria elimination is a potentially achievable goal, even in areas
that were experiencing intense holoendemic transmission at the turn of the century, just 15
years ago. At Ifakara Health institute, we have been part of this great history since 1980s
and we have witnessed these major epidemiological transitions first hand, particularly in the
Kilombero river Valley in southern Tanzania, where we still conduct most of our malaria
studies. We know now that malaria elimination in Africa will require new innovations to
complement existing ones, but also well trained personnel. At IHI, we have built a vibrant
research community, supported by local and international collaborations.
Our core research facilities include experimental hut systems, large semi-field screen
houses for controlled mosquito release studies, and mosquito identification and analysis
laboratories equipped with molecular, infrared spectroscopy techniques, night-time video
graphic techniques, insecticide resistance testing facilities and most recently a level three
entomology laboratory, which will allow us to venture actively into infection studies to
support new work on vaccines and new drugs. IHI also has a special long-term relationship
with rural and urban communities in Tanzania, who are by all means our main stakeholders.
There is also a strong emphasis on public outreach, and both community members and
local health officials are regularly briefed on the research progress at IHI through formal
feedback sessions.
We are seeking to appoint a research scientist/vector biologist to join a multidisciplinary
team working on new technologies for surveillance and control of mosquitoes and
mosquito-borne pathogens.

JOB SUMMARY:
Creating low-cost repellent-treated sandals that provide round-the-clock protection
against Dengue, Zika, Chikungunya and Malaria: Mosquitoes predominantly bite people
around the feet and ankles, and protecting the lower limbs of individuals result in up to 65%
reduction in mosquito bites. In this project, we are exploiting this mosquito behaviour and
use footwear as a platform to release highly effective wide-area spatial mosquito repellents,
creating full-time protection against both day-biting and night-biting mosquitoes at individual
and household level. Day-biting Aedes mosquitoes, which transmit most of the arboviral
infections that the world is least prepared to combat, i.e. Zika, Dengue, Yellow fever and
Chikungunya, are largely non-responsive to LLINs and IRS. Moreover, no vaccines or
reliable diagnostics are available for field use against many of these arboviruses. In
addition, the aquatic habitats of these mosquitoes are often small, scattered, cryptic,
temporary and sometimes indoors, hence difficulty of larval source management.
Therefore, mosquito control remains the main intervention.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
The research scientist will work hand in hand with project team to ensure that the following
responsibilities are met:
  • Monitor all the research / scientific activities, administrative and financial transactions of the project.
  • Make sure all the project milestones have been completed on time. This includes making sure that all the activities leading to the milestones are started and completed on time.

  • Ensure all research conducted by the team is in adherence to institutional, national and international standards, regulations and guidelines, including protection of human participants, animals and the environment during the research
  • with other scientists in the institute to perpetuate a vibrant competitively-funded research program on ecology and control of mosquito-borne pathogens;
  • Contribute to public engagement initiatives through regular interactions with local and international news media, the public, and officials at international, district and local levels;
  • Work with relevant staff in the institute, to ensure appropriate maintenance of lab facilities and equipment within the department
  • Adequately and effectively interact with government agencies and other organizations involved in malaria control, including the National Malaria Control Program, but also in the control of other mosquito borne pathogens
  • Work with other agencies to promote educational and outreach activities supporting mosquito-borne disease control agenda in Tanzania and beyond.
  • Prepare regular scientific and financial reports to various institutional organs and to our funding partners and other stake holders.

A current staff member who holds a fixed-term, permanent or continuing appointment may apply for temporary positions no more than one level above his or her current grade. However, a current staff member who holds an appointment at the G-6 or G-7 level may also apply to temporary positions in the Professional category up to and including the P-3 level, subject to meeting all eligibility and other requirements for the position. A staff member holding a temporary appointment shall be regarded as an external candidate when applying for other positions, and may apply for other temporary positions at any level, subject to section 5.7 below and staff rule 4.16 (b) (ii). Therefore, a staff member holding a temporary appointment in the General Service or related categories may only apply to positions within those categories. For full information on eligibility requirements, please refer to section 5 of ST/AI/2010/4Rev.1 on Temporary Appointments. In its resolution 66/234, the General Assembly further 'stressed that the Secretary-General should not recur to the practice of temporarily filling posts in the Professional and higher categories with General Service staff members who have not passed the General Service to Professional category examination other than on an exceptional basis, and requests the Secretary-General to ensure that temporary occupation of such posts by the General Service staff shall not exceed a period of one year, effective 1 January 2013…' Consequently, eligible candidates in the General Service or related categories for temporary job openings in the Professional category that have not passed the competitive examination may be selected only on an exceptional basis endorsed by the Office of Human Resources Management where no other suitable candidate could be identified.
Upon separation from service, including, but not limited to, expiration or termination of, or resignation from, a fixed-term, continuing or permanent appointment, a former staff member will be ineligible for re-employment on the basis of a temporary appointment for a period of 31 days following the separation. In the case of separation from service on retirement, a former staff member will be ineligible for re-employment for a period of three months following the separation.

Subject to the funding source of the position, this temporary job opening may be limited to candidates based at the duty station.
While this temporary assignment may provide the successful applicant with an opportunity to gain new work experience, the selection for this position is for a limited period and has no bearing on the future incumbency of the post. An external candidate selected for this position is bound by the prevailing condition of the staff selection system under ST/AI/2010/3, as amended, and ST/AI/2010/4/Rev.1. A staff member holding a temporary appointment who is recruited in the Professional and above categories on a temporary appointment, and placed on a position authorized for one year or longer may not apply for or be reappointed to his/her current position within six months of the end of his/her current service. This provision does not apply to staff members holding temporary appointments and placed on positions authorized for one year or more in duty stations authorized for peacekeeping operations or special political missions.
The expression 'Internal candidates', shall mean staff members who have been recruited after a competitive examination under staff rule 4.16 or after the advice of a central review body under staff rule 4.15.
Please note that candidates will be required to meet the requirements of Article 101, paragraph 3, of the Charter as well as the requirements of the position.
