Philanthropic and partnership support extends work on equitable access to testing, prevention and care.
Support the lab →Postdoctoral and graduate enquiries
We welcome enquiries from outstanding prospective postdoctoral researchers interested in implementation science methods or infectious disease research, and from prospective PhD and MSc students. There are no currently advertised funded positions; funded vacancies will be posted here when they exist.
To enquire, send a CV, a short statement of research interests, and, for graduate applicants, a transcript. Every message is read.
Enquire about postdoctoral researchWhat training here involves
Trainees join a study team from the start, for example SCALE-POCT, DECIDE-POCT or AIM-IS, and take responsibility for a defined piece of it: a review, a qualitative analysis, a process-mapping exercise or a methods paper. Doctoral students develop a project of their own within the lab's methods or infectious disease programs, with co-supervision arranged where another discipline or institution is a better fit, as with current students co-advised at UNSW Sydney and Université de Montréal.
The lab meets as a group, trainees present at the Global Leaders seminar series and at CanHepC and CTN+ events, and methods development is part of everyone's work, not only the director's.
Research partnerships
A research partnership is different from a consulting engagement: the lab becomes a co-investigator or methods lead, shares in the design and authorship, and the work is funded through a grant or a study budget. Typical arrangements include co-developing a grant application with implementation science aims and outcomes, embedding pre-implementation methods such as process mapping and determinant assessment in a trial, or hosting a site in a lab-led study such as SCALE-POCT or HIV PrEP CAN'T WAIT.
