Stillingsbeskrivelse:

Do you want to work towards universal health coverage?

The Norwegian Institute of Public Health works extensively in the field of global health and has a vacant permanent full time position, starting September 1st, 2019. The position will be located within the Cluster for Global Health in the Division for Health Services.

We seek to strengthen our team with a senior researcher in order to develop our portfolio on universal health coverage (UHC). This portfolio focuses on progress towards UHC in low and middle income countries (LMICs) and the global-level efforts needed to support such progress.

The person we seek has documented experience in developing and managing research projects, and has additionally a strong record of publications in international peer-reviewed journals over the past five years in areas directly relevant to UHC. Relevant areas include health systems strengthening, capacity building programme implementation, global health governance, health financing, priority setting, decision-support systems for policymakers, and wider determinants of health service coverage.

The Division for Health Services is one of four divisions in the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. The Cluster for Global Health consists of about 45 researchers and advisors contributing to research, global-level analysis and bilateral cooperation with partners in LMICs. Important areas of work include global health preparedness and health security, digital health information systems, hosting the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care (EPOC) Group satellite for LMICs and broad cooperation with national public health institutes. The division collaborates closely with universities, as well as with the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
