<div class="MsoNormal">Senior Operations Manager<br />
Zomba, Malawi</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal">Dignitas International is seeking a Senior Operations Manager in Zomba. Duration: Minimum 2 year commitment. Dignitas International is a medical non-government organization founded by a team of global health and research specialists. The premise on which Dignitas was founded is that resource intensive, physician-led approaches to the provision of HIV/AIDS-related services are not viable in many resource-limited countries that struggle with a severe lack of healthcare capacity. The mission of Dignitas is to increase access to prevention, treatment, care and support for people affected by HIV/AIDS, and to develop tools and guidelines for a sustainable healthcare delivery approach that can be disseminated quickly and cost-effectively throughout Malawi and to other resource-limited contexts across the globe.<br />
<br />
Dignitas meets these goals by implementing programs through a health systems strengthening approach through providing capacity-building, operational support and technical assistance, and developing evidence-based models through operations research and knowledge translation. Program implementation increases access for individuals affected by HIV through the decentralization of care from hospitals to health centres and down to communities. This process includes health systems integration, task shifting among healthcare workers, and the training and integration of community-health workers. Operations research and vigorous monitoring and evaluation are used to refine and validate tools and guidelines developed to improve community-level access to health systems and quality care to patients.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Senior Regional Tuberculosis Technical Advisor<br />
Almaty, Kazakhstan</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The Global Health Fellows Program is seeking a Technical Advisor III: Senior Regional Tuberculosis Technical Advisor (GHFP-11-209) in Almaty. The Global Health Fellows Program (GHFP) is a five year cooperative agreement implemented and managed by the Public Health Institute (PHI) in partnership with the Harvard School of Public Health, Management Systems International and Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. GHFP is supported by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). GHFP’s goal is to improve the effectiveness of USAID Population, Health and Nutrition programs by developing and increasing capacity of health professionals in Washington, DC and overseas. This is accomplished through the recruitment, placement and support of junior, mid and senior level health professionals; a diversity initiative focused on providing internship and mentoring opportunities in international public health to underrepresented communities; and professional and organizational development activities to bolster USAID’s ability to maximize results and strengthen its leadership role in global health.<br />
<br />
The 2010 USAID Europe and Eurasia Health Vulnerability Analysis highlights the Central Asia Republics (CAR) as the region with the highest overall estimated Tuberculosis (TB) incidence rates (147.6 per 100,000), a rate nearly double the mean in Europe and Eurasia. CAR TB case detection and treatment success rates are lagging behind international targets. High rates of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) TB continue to present significant challenges for TB control in the region. Tajikistan, in particular, has the highest TB incidence rate in the WHO European region (231), while Kazakhstan is second (129). In Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan, more than 14.2 percent of newly diagnosed TB cases and more than 24.8 percent of all TB cases are MDR-TB. All five Central Asian Republics populate the WHO list of priority MDR-TB countries and are priority countries within the current US Government (USG) bilateral TB program.<br />
<br />
Several regional and country challenges hamper TB control efforts. Local governments have struggled, with varying levels of success, to build a truly cross-sectional response. The prison sector lacks sufficient resources and is not integrated with the civil sector to manage increasing numbers of MDR-TB patients. Stigma surrounding injection drug use, punitive legislation and rights violations of populations most at risk for TB and HIV have delayed the adoption of appropriate interventions and continue to curb the progress of HIV and TB programs to access these marginalized and vulnerable populations. Furthermore, high rates of migration, particularly from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan to destinations within and outside the region (Kazakhstan, Russia and Korea) complicate the spread of the HIV and TB.<br />
<br />
While migrants are considered a high risk group in the region, little epidemiologic data is available. Countries have different contexts and resources and will require country-specific approaches. The USAID/CAR’s Office of Health and Education (CAR/HE) provides funding in the areas of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, maternal and child health, family planning and reproductive health and other public health threats. CAR/HE provides technical assistance either directly or through implementing partners to strengthen regional institutions and networks, build the capacity of regional country governments, local opinion leaders, stakeholders and practitioners, foster increased political will and participation at all levels to achieve its assistance objective: that Central Asian Public Health Systems Better Meet the Needs of Vulnerable Groups.<br />
<br />
This objective has four components: 1) a safer medical environment; 2) strengthened public health capacity; 3) improved quality of health services; and 4) empowered civil society to better respond to health needs. CAR/HE staff work in close collaboration with US Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention and other USG agencies, National TB Programs, other donors (especially the Global Fund and WHO’s STOP TB Strategy) and non-governmental organization (NGO) implementing partners to design, award, manage, monitor, evaluate and report on TB and TB-HIV/AIDS co-infection activities.<br />
<br />
The Senior Tuberculosis Technical Advisor (the Advisor) will play the lead technical role in assuring that Ministries of Health in the five Central Asian Republics and USAID implementing partners have state-of-the-art information on best practices in TB including MDR-TB prevention and control, testing, laboratory analysis, and TB-HIV co-infection treatment and follow up. The Advisor will provide technical mentorship and on-the-job training to USAID health Foreign Service Nationals (FSN) staff. The Advisor will have particular responsibility for ensuring that USAID’s FSN teams, including the regional FSN TB Advisor, HIV Advisor and Strategic Information Advisor, have access to up-to-date information, mentoring and training so that after the Advisor’s departure, they can assume full responsibility for TB program design, monitoring and management and oversight of contractors/ grantees.<br />
<br />
The Advisor will engage in strategic planning, policy guidance, monitoring and evaluation of USAID–funded TB projects and provide technical assistance in the design, implementation, and evaluation of bilateral and regional TB programs including the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria (GFATM) TB grants. The Advisor will receive programmatic direction from the Deputy Director of HE and will serve as a member of the HE team. S/he will work closely with technical advisors and health staff in the Global Health Bureau (GH) and other USG agencies and partners in the international TB community.<br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">Program Director<br />
Brooklyn, NY<br />
<br />
The Social Science Research Council (SSRC) seeks to hire a senior social scientist with strong knowledge of the field of peacebuilding research, broadly understood. This should include both a strong background in research as well as knowledge of the work of practitioners, UN agencies, NGOs, and others in the field. Knowledge of issues in Africa is desirable. Candidates may come from any branch of social science, but must demonstrate capacity for interdisciplinary work as well as strong knowledge of the field of peacebuilding. The best qualified candidates will have earned a Ph.D. with distinction and gained at least five or preferably ten years of further experience including research, engagement in higher education, and other professional and intellectual activities. Demonstrated capacity for leadership, for collaboration, and for managing multiple priorities and projects is important. Ability to communicate effectively is crucial, and experience engaging both researchers and non-academic constituencies including funders, policy-makers, and practitioners is desirable.<br />
<br />
The new Program Director will lead a project that aims to strengthen the participation of researchers from areas highly affected by conflict in peacebuilding research, to increase the integration of the field, and to improve the presentation of research results to practitioners and policy-makers, and more generally the interaction and collaboration of researchers and practitioners. The Council anticipates new funding to augment the substantial work it already does on related topics, including through the Conflict Prevention and Peace Forum, the Institute for Gender, Peace and Security, the Program on Humanitarian Action, and its Africa Programs.<br />
<br />
The SSRC is a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization devoted to improving the quality of social science research and bringing necessary knowledge to public issues. Founded in 1923, and supported by both private foundations and a range of governments, the SSRC has projects on every continent and brings together researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers throughout the world. Its programs are approximately 60% international and 40% focused on the United States. Council activities encourage innovation, build research capacity, and help social scientists engage broader constituencies.<br />
<br />
Applicants should consult the Council’s website at <a href="http://www.ssrc.org/" target="_blank">www.ssrc.org</a> to learn more about its current emphases. Annual salary will be commensurate with experience. The SSRC provides a strong comprehensive benefits package including full medical, dental and vision coverage; disability and life insurance; gym reimbursement; outstanding pension plan and tax savings programs; generous vacation and sick leave as well as opportunities for continued research and professional development. Applicants should enjoy working in a collegial, interdisciplinary, intellectual milieu.<br />
<br />
TO APPLY: Interested applicants should send a detailed letter describing their background, interest in SSRC, and fit to this position together with their Curriculum Vitae, at least one relevant writing sample and the names of three professional colleagues who can serve as references. The Council has no citizenship requirements for employees and seeks qualified candidates from all national backgrounds. All applications received before March 1, 2011 will receive full consideration; start date is flexible, but will begin on or before August 2011. Applications may be sent electronically to: <a href="mailto:applications@ssrc.org">applications@ssrc.org</a> (Please indicate "Peacebuilding Program Director" in the subject line.)
