Organisation:

Job type:
Voluntary

Join a group of experts who will help shape the careers of researchers and professionals in tropical medicine and global health.  

This group of Global Assessors will be responsible for assessing applications to our Early Career Grants Programme and abstract entries for our national and international meetings and events.  

Experience needed 

We are looking for experts with experience across all thematic areas, especially our thematic priority areas in our new strategy, which include infectious and emerging diseases, neglected tropical diseases, non-communicable diseases, drug resistance, and planetary health. 

We’re also looking for people from a range of backgrounds including medicine, academic research, public health, law, statistics and modelling, health economics, social sciences and the humanities. Experience of case study design, epidemiology, clinical and community-based research, laboratory science, implementation and translation, and policy development are all welcomed.

The role 

  • We welcome applications from people from any country and from a range of career stages. 
  • Involvement in this group will be on a voluntary basis – Global Assessors do not receive pay.  
  • The role of Global Assessor is for a period of two years, with a review after one year.    
  • RSTMH will provide references for Global Assessors. 

Eligibility criteria  

Unfortunately, we cannot accept applications from any awardees of the RSTMH Early Career Grants Programme who have not yet completed their final report. At present, this means we are only able to accept applications from awardees from the 2022 class or earlier.  

Similarly, we are not able to accept any applications from supervisors of an existing awardee. At present, this means that we are only able to accept applications from those who supervised a project from the 2022 class or earlier. 

How to apply 

We hope this opportunity will provide experience in how a peer review process works, and an insight into current research priorities at this seed funding and early stage.  

Supporting RSTMH, and the tropical medicine and global health communities and beneficiaries, in this way, is very appreciated and we hope you will value being a part of shaping this future. 

We are currently accepting applications with a deadline of 30 April 2025. 

To apply, please complete and submit the online form.
