The Unit of Tuberculosis (TB), of the Department of Clinical Sciences at ITM, is looking for a motivated and talented junior researcher, with interest in TB research, to support the implementation and coordination of two international research consortia: ACT4KIDS-TB (EDCTP3, paediatric TB diagnostics, partners in South Africa, Kenya and Benin) and ComBaScale (Horizon Europe, stepped-wedge trial scaling up a CHW-delivered cardiovascular disease/HIV/TB care package in Lesotho). Both projects share important operational components, including consortium coordination, study monitoring, reporting and stakeholder engagement. You will be responsible for monitoring the implementation, in collaboration with consortium partners, and supported by the ITM consortium coordination of each project. You will be based in Belgium, and travel regularly to implementing countries.
