******************************* *IMMUNIZATION TECHNICAL ADVISOR WASHINGTON, DC
The Global Health Fellows Program II is seeking a Technical Advisor Level III: Immunization Technical Advisor (GHFP II-P1-005) in Washington, DC. Assignment: Two year fellowship. The Global Health Fellows Program (GHFP-II) is a five year cooperative agreement implemented and managed by the Public Health Institute in partnership with CDC Development Solutions and Management Systems International. GHFP-II is supported by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). GHFP-II's goal is to improve the effectiveness of USAID health programs by developing and increasing the capacity of health professionals with tailored development opportunities. This is accomplished through the recruitment, placement and support of diverse health professionals at the junior, mid and senior levels, and professional development activities aimed to enhance the technical and leadership skills of global health professionals. INTRODUCTION: The Maternal and Child Health Division (MCH) within USAID's Office of Health, Infectious Diseases, and Nutrition (HIDN) works closely with USAID Missions and Regional Bureaus as well as the private sector, other US government agencies and departments, and international partners to: advocate for investments in improving maternal and child health, with a focus on the major causes of mortality and associated morbidity; introduce innovative cost-effective interventions to address these issues; and leverage human, technical, financial resources to help countries improve their capacity to deliver such lifesaving interventions. For immunization, the program focuses on USAID's participation in the GAVI Alliance (www.gavialliance.org), a public private partnership focused on procurement of new life-saving vaccines; support to countries for the introduction of new and underutilized vaccines; support to countries for strengthening their routine immunization systems to improve coverage and sustainability in the context of their overall child health programs; and building strong working partnerships with other organizations that are supporting these same immunization objectives. Childhood vaccination programs offer one of the most effective strategies the global public health community has at its command to reduce the high burden of infant and child mortality in developing countries. As the USAID Administrator recently stated: "The most transformative new breakthroughs we have at our disposal are in fact, vaccines. By expanding the coverage of existing vaccines and introducing new immunizations through sustained use of a strong immunization program, we believe we can save the lives of 4 million children over just the next five years." USAID has recently made substantial commitments to GAVI for the next 3 years to support the cost of new vaccines and has joined with other international partners to assist countries to strengthen their routine immunization systems making possible the sustain introduction of these new life saving vaccines. Immunization has been re-born as a top priority with USAID and within the international health community. The MCH Division seeks an Immunization Technical Advisor to provide technical oversight and guidance to its maternal and child health projects and to contribute to the Division's broader mandate of advancing USAID's work on maternal and child health.

The Advisor should anticipate flexibility in adapting over time to changes in MCH Division programs and emphases. This Advisor will take technical direction from the MCH Division's Immunization Team Leader. It is anticipated that the Advisor will have the opportunity to provide leadership and help shape country-level activities in support of USAID's expanded immunization work, as well as the Global Health Bureau's support of those country efforts. The Advisor will be a member of the MCH Division team and will also work closely with other team members who have complementary areas of expertise. This position offers a tremendous opportunity for a dynamic individual who wants to be part of an aggressive effort to make a significant impact on the lives of children worldwide. Childhood immunization is on the verge of breakthroughs that will not only offer new life-saving vaccines to children who have suffered needlessly from infectious diseases, but it can also set the groundwork for lasting improvements in maternal and child health systems in many countries. This position will give the right individual the chance to join with dedicated public health professionals all over the world in the struggle to bring this opportunity to a reality.
