Research Context

Malaria is a vector borne disease causing over 200 million infections and 400,000 deaths annually. For the past decade, malaria in the Americas has been a neglected disease. Cases in the Amazon have increased more rapidly than any region in the world, while cases in Central America have increased 10-fold since the end of the Pandemic. Although there is no single underlying cause for this increase, climate change, land use change (deforestation), mining, logging, internal/international migration, vector ecology, and lack of political and economic commitments all contribute to this growing epidemic.

To address these challenges, we have ongoing research in Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, Panama, and Honduras to better understand the relationship between human and vector behavior impacting malaria risk. Our research is supported by NIH, NASA, and the Duke Climate-Health Initiative, and we pursue the following types of research questions: (1) how does migration contribute to malaria transmission; (2) how can we continue improving and effectively implementing malaria early warning systems; (3) what malaria interventions are the most effective at slowing malaria transmission in different socio-environmental contexts; (4) what types of climate-health visualizations are most effective at communicating forecasted malaria risk to program managers and community-based health care workers; and (5) how can we better characterize malaria ecology (vector density, human risk) across different spatial and temporal scales (climate and land cover scales). Our research team is highly interdisciplinary, representing epidemiology, demography, climate and atmospheric sciences, biostatistics, economics, geography, entomology, and international development. However, we also represent scientists and policymakers from over ten institutions and speak 4 primary languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian).

Occupational Summary

We are seeking a full-time data analyst to support three large-scale studies in Latin America. One is an NIH-supported project in the Amazon that is expanding and implementing a malaria early warning system (MEWS) in Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil. This project includes an analysis for social networks along international borders to understand how social or economic connectivity between remote communities contributes to malaria incidence. The second analysis is a NASA-supported study to evaluate modification of our MEWS to an elimination context in Panama and Honduras. This project (similarly to the Amazon) works on developing a platform for integrating climate, land, health surveillance, infrastructure, and other covariates to produce malaria forecasts up to 12 weeks in advance to support improved resource deployment to create a more rapid movement toward malaria elimination. The third project is supported by the Duke Climate Commitment and is testing the main hypothesis that international migration is altering fundamental malaria ecology in Panama, leading to novel malaria genotypes, introduction of new malaria vectors, and increased transmission risk to local, indigenous populations.

Work Performed

A detailed description of functional areas and tasks follows:

* Coordinate with the PI (William Pan), project coordinator, and local PIs to implement data management protocols for each project, including the set-up of multiple datasets, documentation, data cleaning, creation of codebooks, and quality checks.
* Develop detailed data access documentation that will be used for subsequent data dissemination in coordination with field partners in Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, Panama, and Honduras.
* Coordinate with Duke OIT and supporting research team members in accessing and using the data; and train and support research team members in using the virtual machine and network data storage as the team composition evolves over the period of the study.
* Analyze data (STATA, R, or SAS expertise required; familiarity with Python ArcGIS or other programs is a plus).
* Work with other team members to support the generation of data summaries, including data visualizations for planned policy briefs, reports, as well as websites.
* Collaborate with the study team and contribute to research manuscripts as needed.
