About the role
The Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) site aims to determine and track the causes of under-five mortality and stillbirths through epidemiologic surveillance, including reporting within 24 hours, clinical sampling, and use of advanced laboratory testing and diagnostics across a network of international sites.
CHAMPS employs the Minimal Invasive Tissue Sampling (MITS) procedure for post-mortem diagnosis. MITS was developed to reduce the uncertainty regarding causes of death. The data collected from the CHAMPS Sierra Leone site will be added to that collected from other sites and will help reduce child deaths in LMICs by providing detailed evidence on the cause of death to influence policy of funders and stakeholders. CHAMPS requires the services of a resourceful, experienced, and dynamic professional for the position of Clinical Research Coordinator.

They will be responsible for producing case summaries for Determination of Cause of Death (DeCoDe) panel meetings, supporting capacity building and providing technical guidance to the team for family feedback as well as reviewing clinical and pathology data to inform research and contributing to the development of manuscripts and other scientific communications.
