Deadline for applications: Deadline for
applications: 15 October 2005.
From January 2006 to December 2010, the African
Malaria Network Trust (AMANET) Secretariat in Dar-es-Salaam,
Tanzania will host the Secretariat of the Multilateral
Initiative on Malaria (MIM), which has been based at Stockholm
University/Karolinska Institute in Stockholm for the past three
years (2003-2005). Prior to this the Secretariat was initially
hosted in London, by the Wellcome Trust (1997-1999) and at
Fogarty International Center (FIC) in USA (1999 to 2001).
Established in 1997, MIM is an alliance of individuals, funding
partners and four autonomous constituents comprising the MIM
Secretariat, MIM/TDR, MIMCom and MR4. Its mission is to
strengthen and sustain, through collaborative research and
training, the capacity of malaria endemic countries in Africa to
carry out research that is required to develop and improve tools
for malaria control and to strengthen the research-control
interphase.
AMANET is seeking to employ a self-driven individual who is
capable of working independently, but with strong attributes as
a team player to hold the position of a MIM Secretariat
Coordinator. The MIM Secretariat Coordinator will be the main
operator of the MIM Secretariat, but will consult closely with
other AMANET staff, particularly the Network Director, the
Communications Officer, the Information Technology Officer (ITO)
and the Finance and Administration Manager (FAM). The
Coordinator should possess at least a Master’s degree, but
preferably a PhD in public health, parasitology or epidemiology
and have proven research experience in malaria with considerable
computer skills and experience. The Coordinator will be
responsible for the day-to-day activities of the Secretariat.
The MIM Secretariat Coordinator will in particular be
responsible for:
-
Convening meetings of the Board and the
Strategic Advisory Committee including, preparing essential
documents and taking and keeping minutes
-
Implementing decisions of the Strategic
Advisory Committee and the MIM Alliance Partners’ Board
