Australian Institute of Tropical Health and Medicine
Summary of Project
We are offering a PhD candidature in the field of malaria and arbovirus mosquito control based at the Australian Insitute of Tropical Health and Medicine (AITHM) at James Cook University in Cairns. The strategic mission of AITHM is to confront northern Australia’s major health security risks and to deliver significant public health benefit locally, regionally and globally. The successful PhD candidate will be involved in a highly collaborative research program co-coordinated by AITHM, the Papua New Guinea Institute of Medical Research (PNGIMR), Burnet Institute and other international partners. The focus of the project is to establish and conduct biological and chemical tests for insecticidal efficacy of a wide range of insecticide treated bed nets and surfaces treated with residual insecticides collected in PNG and other malaria endemic countries in the region, to inform malaria control programs and strategies.
