Drug resistant infections pose a grave threat to health and wellbeing across the Globe. Bacterial causes of infection are becoming resistant to an increasing number of antibiotics, with consequent reductions in the effectiveness of treatment. The UK Government is playing a leading global role in addressing this problem and has launched the Fleming Fund as a major component of the UK’s response.
The aim of the Fleming Fund is to address critical gaps in surveillance of antibiotic resistant bacteria in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Countries in these areas are set to bear the highest burden of antibiotic resistant infections.
We are recruiting for a Regional Fellowship Officer for our Thailand Hub. Working closely with our Regional Coordinator, you will be responsible for providing support to ensure the Fellowship theme is implemented in line with the key design features.
Your duties will include managing the process of developing applications, fellowship workplans and project plans, organising workshops, identifying needs for technical assistance and writing terms of reference. You will also represent the Fleming Fellowship Scheme at meetings, workshops and conferences.
You will have experience of working across multiple stakeholders across countries with the ability to multi-task and maintain a critical overview of interrelated tasks, projects and issues. With experience in monitoring and evaluating programmes you will be able to demonstrate your ability at working collaboratively, building relationships and influencing colleagues, clients and stakeholders. Experience of managing calls for funding and reviewing applications along with designing and delivering /professional development activities will help you in this role.
