A leader in the eradication and elimination of diseases, the Center fights six preventable diseases - Guinea worm, river blindness, trachoma, schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, and malaria in Hispaniola - by using health education and simple, low-cost methods. The Center also strives to improve maternal and child health in Sudan and Nigeria and improve access to mental health care globally.    These efforts have brought to resource-limited countries better disease surveillance and health care delivery systems. Because communities often are burdened by several diseases, the Center also is pioneering new public health approaches to efficiently and effectively treat multiple diseases at once.    In all our work, an emphasis is placed on building partnerships for change among international agencies, governments, nongovernmental organizations, corporations, national ministries of health, and most of all, with people at the grass roots. We help acquire the tools, knowledge, and resources they need to transform their own lives, building a more peaceful and healthier world for us all.    JOB DESCRIPTION:   The Epidemiologist provides lead technical expertise for monitoring and evaluating River Blindness, Lymphatic Filariasis, and Schistosomiasis elimination and control activities.
