The Senior Research Fellow will lead and build a research collaboration that includes the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the Modelling Consortium based at Imperial College London. The successful candidate will have a strong background in public finance economics; a track record of world class publications in peer-reviewed journals; and strong analytic and technical capabilities in modern economic methods. You will have a good knowledge of sub-Saharan Africa as well as demonstrable ability to work across a number of academic disciplines and a successful track record of attracting and managing significant research income. The salary offered is £95k p.a., and will be fixed-term for three years in the first instance. The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon (UK time) on Friday 16 August 2013
