Uppsala Health Summit is an international, annual arena for decision-makers, opinion builders and experts for dialogue on how we to implement knowledge from research and innovations for better health and healthcare. All delegates are personally invited, and come from industry, politics, academia, healthcare and civil society, and from different parts of the world. The theme of the summit, which takes place in October 2020, is Managing Antimicrobial Resistance through Behaviour Change.

The goal of Uppsala Health Summit 2020 is to support the work that take place on global and national levels to address antimicrobial resistance with a special focus on improving knowledge and changing behaviours. In workshops and in plenary sessions we will identify existing scalable, evidence-based solutions and discuss obstacles for implementation. What can we learn from other fields and do we need to reframe the messages for different target audiences?

Duties:

The mapping of key stakeholders shall focus on organizations and persons with influence in the area of antimicrobial resistance, either directly because the organization’s area of activity is of relevance, or via a formal or informal influence on policy making, nationally and/or internationally.

This is a part-time job that can, to a large extent, be carried out from home at hours that suit your schedule, but you must of course be able to connect with people when they are available. Considering that we are working with contacts in all parts of the world, you may sometimes need to work at odd hours.

Requirements:

The successful candidate will have a basic prior interest in health policy, and preferably already have some insights in the focus area of this summit, antimicrobial resistance and/or global health.

To be suitable for this job, you should:

• be fluent in Swedish and English
• be diligent and meticulous
• feel comfortable initiating contact with persons you have never met

Additional qualifications:

We believe that you have experiences of advanced studies in subjects like Global Health, Public Health, Caring Sciences, Pharmaceutical Development, Political Sciences, Education or Anthropology – or other areas that the employer finds equivalent.
