University of Cambridge Graduate Scholarship Details:
Applications are invited for 3-year PhD studentships based at the University of Cambridge and supervised by Professor Caroline Trotter
This 3 year PhD project is embedded in the NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Vaccines & Immunisation, a collaboration between the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), University College London (UCL) and the University of Cambridge.
The student will develop a framework for making decisions about vaccines that more formally considers the effect on the immunisation programme as a whole. They will then apply this draft framework to specific case studies and assess whether and how decision-making could be influenced, leading to further refinement.
The student will develop skills in infectious disease epidemiology, mathematical modelling of vaccine preventable diseases and health economics. The public are ultimately the ‘vaccine consumers’ and as such should be involved in framing and shaping vaccine research, so the student should also develop and execute a plan for public involvement and engagement.
