*SENIOR MALARIA VECTOR CONTROL ADVISOR
WASHINGTON, DC
Global Health Fellows Program II is seeking a Technical Advisor III: Senior Malaria
Vector Control Advisor (GHFP II-P1-036) in Washington, DC. Assignment: Two year
fellowship. The Global Health Fellows Program (GHFP-II) is a five year cooperative
agreement implemented and managed by the Public Health Institute in partnership with
CDC Development Solutions and Management Systems International. GHFP-II is
supported by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). GHFP-II's goal
is to improve the effectiveness of USAID health programs by developing and increasing
the capacity of health professionals with tailored development opportunities. This is
accomplished through the recruitment, placement and support of diverse health
professionals at the junior, mid and senior levels, and professional development
activities aimed at enhancing the technical and leadership skills of global health
professionals. The President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) is a $1.2 billion five year
expansion of US Government (USG) resources to reduce the intolerable burden of
malaria and help relieve poverty on the African continent. The goal of PMI is to reduce
malaria-related mortality by 50% across the 15 sub-Saharan African focus countries
through a rapid scale up of a package of proven malaria prevention and treatment
measures: artemisinin-based combination therapy, insecticide-treated mosquito nets
(ITN), intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy, and indoor residual spraying
(IRS). USAID is the lead agency for implementation of the PMI. The Initiative is
results-based, focused, and exhibits a high level of financial and programmatic
accountability. In May 2009, President Obama announced the Global Health Initiative
(GHI), a comprehensive USG initiative to reduce the burden of disease and strengthen
communities around the world. The 2008 Tom Lantos and Henry J. Hyde Global
Leadership against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act (Lantos/ Hyde Act)
authorizes up to $5 billion in additional USG funding for malaria prevention and control
for the period FY2009-2013. Building on the progress and experiences of the PMI
during the past four years and the new approach to international health efforts laid out
in the USG Global Health Initiative, PMI will work with partners to halve the burden of
malaria (morbidity and mortality) in 70% of the at-risk populations of sub-Saharan
Africa, thereby removing malaria as a major public health problem and promoting
development throughout the African region. INTRODUCTION: Vector control
interventions represent a large proportion of PMI's investments in malaria control.
Since the inception of PMI, rapidly growing insecticide resistance and the drive towards
universal coverage of insecticide-treated bednets, among other factors, have furthered
PMI's need to provide high-quality and timely technical expertise in the field of
entomology. The Senior Malaria Vector Control Advisor will be an integral member of
USAID's PMI team, providing technical support to USAID at headquarters (particularly
the IRS and Long-Lasting Insecticidal Net Technical Working Groups), missions and
PMI country teams, technical counterparts, implementing partners, ministries of health,
and USAID cooperating agencies. S/he will serve as the primary liaison with the
Entomology Branch of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
ensuring that PMI investments in vector control are maximized. ROLES AND
RESPONSIBILITIES: The primary responsibilities of the Senior Malaria Vector
Control Advisor include: Technical Leadership: Liaise with CDC Entomology Branch
staff to ensure that all PMI countries have sufficient entomologic technical support,
including provision of remote support for analysis of entomologic data and reports (e.g.,
interpreting susceptibility and vector density analyses) and in-country support (as
needed) for capacity-building with missions' implementing partners and National
Malaria Control Programs. Work with the CDC Entomology Branch and key USAID
technical staff to monitor regional and country-level trends in key entomologic
indicators, ensure that entomologic data are collated in existing databases and shared
with relevant stakeholders to guide ITN and IRS interventions, and alert PMI leadership
as technical issues emerge that have the potential of jeopardizing the success of vector
control measures. Maintain up-to-date knowledge of issues regarding the regulation of
insecticides for public health use, particularly insecticides covered under USG and
international conventions. Provide technical expertise and leadership to both the PMI
ITN and IRS working groups on relevant issues such as targeting IRS in the presence of
bednets, vector behavior changes in response to vector control interventions, insecticide
resistance management and related issues, and emerging technologies. Work with the
PMI Operational Research Committee to ensure that vector control operational research
proposals are scientifically sound. Provide technical input for PMI's malaria operational
planning guidance, external presentations, scientific publications, and other documents
as needed. Provide technical leadership, as appropriate, and participate in global vector
control meetings and working groups (e.g., Roll Back Malaria (RBM) Vector Control
Working Group, RBM Alliance for Malaria Prevention, Gates Foundation Innovative
Vector Control Consortium, etc.), keeping PMI colleagues abreast of potential changes
in global guidance related to vector control. Liaise with external specialty vector
control institutions (e.g., research institutions, universities, etc.) to keep external experts
abreast of challenges faced by and best practices utilized by PMI in implementing
vector control, and to keep USAID up to date with new developments and trends.
Liaise with pesticide industry staff on new vector control products and formulations of
insecticides for public health use. Country and Programmatic Support: Provide general
technical and programmatic support to one or more PMI focus countries and participate
as an integral member of an interagency country support team for that country. Provide
guidance and support to USAID missions and PMI country teams on the development
of annual country malaria operational plans and assist in monitoring and tracking
overall progress of PMI plans and activities to ensure achievement of PMI goals and
targets. Provide programmatic support to the management of one or more contracts,
grants, or cooperative agreements related to vector control. Other tasks or
responsibilities may be assigned based on (a) organizational programming need and/or
(b) the Advisor's own interests. REQUIREMENTS: Master's degree in medical
entomology or related field with an emphasis on vector control. Minimum ten years'
experience in vector control of malaria and other vector-borne diseases, including IRS
and entomological surveillance for mosquito-borne diseases with at least three to five
years' experience in an international or resource challenged setting. Ability to work
effectively with a broad range of USG personnel and partners, and in a team
environment. Ability to communicate complex technical information to a wide range of
audiences. Experience in entomologic data analysis and interpretation. Demonstrated
project management and problem solving expertise, and experience working on
complex projects in highly sensitive environments. Experience living/ working in a
developing country is preferred. Computer skills in MS Word, Excel, Power Point,
Outlook, and Access. Willingness and ability to travel internationally up to 20% of the
year. US Citizenship or US Permanent Residency required. SALARY AND
BENEFITS: Salary based on commensurate experience and earnings history. The

development programs http://www.ghfp.net/docs/2012_Benefits_Booklet_GHFP.pdf.
