Internship Opportunity: Join EMPHNET’s Polio and Routine Immunization Team

The Polio and Routine Immunization Unit, operating within EMPHNET’s Public Health Programs Department, is offering an exciting internship opportunity for individuals interested in public health, epidemiology, and immunization efforts. This internship is ideal for those with a background in epidemiology, biostatistics, or related fields.

About EMPHNET’s Work in the Area of Polio and Routine Immunization

EMPHNET supports polio eradication and the control of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) and other priority countries. It enhances immunization services, builds the capacity of Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) teams, and strengthens surveillance systems for Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) and VPDs.

About the Project

The project, titled Strengthening Sustainable Public Health Capacity in The Eastern Mediterranean Region for Polio Eradication and Routine Immunization Activities, focuses on understanding migration patterns and the motivation for vaccinations among mobile populations in Afghanistan. Using a qualitative study approach with key informant interviews (KIIs) and in-depth interviews (IDIs), the project provides an understanding of the movement and health-seeking behaviors of internally displaced persons (IDPs), high-risk mobile populations (HRMPs), and those migrating for work, education, or religious observances. The findings will enhance poliovirus surveillance and guide surge vaccination activities in these populations.

By Joining Us, You Will:

Learn about qualitative study design, including developing questionnaires and analyzing data.
Gain hands-on experience in data cleaning, processing, and qualitative data analysis.
Participate in report writing and contribute to the analysis of migration patterns related to public health outcomes.

The Intern’s Main Responsibilities Include:

Assisting with data cleaning and processing for the qualitative study.
Supporting report writing by incorporating feedback and comments from team members and stakeholders.
Contributing to the overall research on migration and vaccination patterns among mobile populations.

Requirements:

Educational Background and Skills: Bachelor’s or master’s in public health or a related field.
Skills: Basic knowledge of qualitative research methods, epidemiology, and biostatistics, with good data analysis and writing skills.

Internship Details:

Duration: Mid-October 2024 to the end of November 2024 (potential for extension).
Location: It could be either face-to-face or online, depending on the applicant's location.
Note: Please note that this is an unpaid position.
Interested applicants should apply before October 13, 2024.
