I am looking for a PhD student (4-year, fully funded), to be based in Mozambique (The Aurum Institute). Must be fluent in Portuguese. We have several health/bio-engineering profiles in mind. The training budget can fill gaps in AMR, IPC, DR-TB background. This PhD is a key to Global Health EDCTP3 Tuberculosis Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (TASP): tackling Bedaquiline-resistant tuberculosis THE DEADLINE TO APPLY IS NOVEMBER 20, 2025 Supervisory Team: • Ellen M.H.
