The PAMAfrica partners are working together to deliver three studies focused on identifying next-generation drugs for uncomplicated and severe malaria, as well as developing the first-ever malaria treatment for newborns under 5kg. The consortium also includes a capacity building work package, which is supporting 11 African students aspiring to become the continent’s next generation of scientific leaders and providing training for the local researchers involved in the PAMAfrica studies. The consortium which is coordinated by MMV started its work in January 2020 is expected to run until December 2025.
This position is remote-based, ideally located in a malaria-endemic country. The candidate will play a crucial role in overseeing and advancing our initiatives, contributing to the success of the PAMAfrica project.
