Bioinformatician / R developerThe Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH) is a world-leading institute in global health with a particular focus on low- and middle-income countries. Associated with the University of Basel, Swiss TPH combines research, services, and education and training at the local, national and international level. About 850 people from more than 80 nations work at Swiss TPH focusing on infectious and non-communicable diseases, environment, society and health as well as health systems and interventions. Malaria is one of the world's most important causes of mortality and morbidity, mainly affecting countries in low endemic areas. Over the past decade, substantial progress has been made globally in reducing malaria burden through increased coverage with vector control interventions and improved access to diagnosis and treatment. However, the funding has recently plateaued, pushing the need to optimize deployment of interventions under careful consideration of countries' local malaria transmission and burden to the forefront of the policy agenda. In recent years, the availability and quality of malaria-relevant data have increased, encouraging countries to use evidence to make decisions, as promoted by the High Burden to High Impact initiative launched by the World Health Organization (WHO). Swiss TPH develops and applies epidemiological, statistical and mathematical methods to evaluate and predict malaria transmission and the impact of interventions. The ultimate goal is to provide support to National Malaria Control Programs (NMCPs) and their partners in their process of evidence-based decision-making. Your position
