Assistant Professor Position Available in the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Dynamics at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine

We are looking for an enthusiastic, productive team member, with considerable experience in analysis of electronic health records to advance research on health inequalities in England. 

You will join a team using OpenSAFELY to investigate inequalities in infectious disease burden, how these are generated and sustained, with a particular focus on respiratory infections. The importance of social contact behaviour, primary care access, and interventions such as vaccination will be a major focus.

You will be directly responsible for epidemiological analysis, surveys of staff and patients, analysis of these and broader data to detect biases in recruitment and reporting, and supervising a research fellow working on predicting burden of infections. There is considerable scope for self-generated projects within this framework and opportunity for publication, collaboration and participation in future grant applications.
