About the role

Develop a mathematical modelling tool within the Malaria Information System (MIS) to support evidence-based decision-making for Cambodia’s malaria elimination programme.
The modelling tool will specifically support strategies to eliminate the remaining Plasmodium vivax cases and prevent the re-establishment of malaria transmission.
The tool will enable CNM to simulate malaria transmission dynamics, assess the impact of imported malaria cases, evaluate the effectiveness of Prevention of Re-establishment (POR) activities and other interventions, and inform strategic planning and operational decision-making.
Closely work with the MIS team and relevant CNM technical staff to develop, adapt, and integrate the modelling tool within the MIS platform.
Strengthen CNM capacity to independently operate, interpret, maintain, and update the model following deployment.
Submit activity reports in line with the set deliverables for review and acceptance by the National Malaria Program before any payment is made.
Identify requirements for the modelling tool in collaboration with CNM technical staff and the MIS team.
Review available malaria surveillance data, POR activities, and current interventions relevant to Plasmodium vivax elimination and prevention of re-establishment.
Adapt and/or develop a mathematical model to simulate POR activities and elimination strategies; simulate the introduction of imported malaria cases; assess the impact of imported cases at different transmission levels and by parasite species, particularly Plasmodium vivax; predict the expected prevalence of asymptomatic hypnozoite carriage under realistic scenarios for Cambodian settings; explore patterns of relapse of Pv under realistic treatment scenarios for Cambodian settings.
