The successful candidate will be based within the Economics & Public Policy Department and Centre for Health Economics & Policy Innovation at Imperial College Business School. They will work on the world’s first initiative to integrate the epidemiological and economic modelling of pandemic preparedness. The initiative will use pioneering techniques to provide critical data and analysis to inform public health decisions related to pandemic preparedness and disease outbreaks around the world.
The new initiative brings together epidemiologists, economists and data modellers from across Imperial, together with researchers from the World Health Organisation and Singapore’s Programme For Research In Epidemic Preparedness And Response (PREPARE), National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) and Umeå University in Sweden. Initially working with five countries including Singapore, the team is producing a publicly available digital scenario-based dashboard modelling preparedness levels of over 150 countries, Imperial College London 2 as well as deep-dive studies on specific preparedness interventions. It also provides evidence on the impact of alternative policy strategies - to governments, international health organisations and businesses, and works with partners to create a clear case for investing in pandemic preparedness.
