This is an exciting opportunity to join the team that have been working on the
rapid clinical development of vaccines against COVID-19 and other important
outbreak pathogens including Marburg and Ebola. The team are running
pioneering studies on experimental controlled human challenge studies for
bacterial and viral infections and phase I-III studies of experimental
vaccines to transform human health.
Three types of roles are available:
1\. Adult Clinical Research Fellow – working on vaccine and vaccine-related
studies, including against COVID-19 and other threats to human health,
recently developed human models of typhoid and paratyphoid infection and
pneumococcal, RSV and influenza challenge studies in a collaboration with the
Liverpool School Of Tropical Medicine (LSTM). This post would be especially
suitable for trainees in infectious or tropical diseases, medical
microbiology/virology, immunology, gastroenterology or acute internal
medicine, but would also be suitable for trainees in any other specialty,
including general practice or on completion of core medical training.
2\. UK Paediatric Clinical Research Fellow – working on a range of ongoing
paediatric research activity including the delivery of COVID-19 vaccine
studies for children, studies of the immunisation programme in the UK, new
vaccines to improve child health and specific work on pertussis vaccines in
the community setting. The chosen candidate will have MRCPCH or equivalent
post-graduate qualification or equivalent experience, at least three years’
experience in clinical medicine and at least one year’s experience in
paediatrics.
3\. Paediatric Clinical Fellows supporting global studies - providing clinical
support and oversight for the paediatric research team based in South Asia
(including Nepal) and Africa (including Uganda) and other overseas sites. The
post will involve significant international travel of up to 5 months per year,
mainly in Asia and the chosen candidate will have MRCPCH or equivalent post-
graduate qualification or equivalent experience.
This research is expected to lead to high quality publications and includes
opportunities for suitable candidates to study for a higher degree
(MSc/MD/DPhil). If the candidate is interested in pursuing an academic
research career, they will be given the opportunity and encouragement to seek
independent research funding and to develop a laboratory, clinical or a
translational research proposal.

The post is fixed term for 12 months in the first instance, but has the
