AmeriCares, an emergency response and global health organization headquartered in Stamford, CT, is expanding its Ebola response to include the staffing and operation of an Ebola Treatment Unit (ETU) in Liberia with our partner, the International Organization for Migration. Increasing the number of ETUs is a critical part of the strategy for Ebola treatment and containment.
We are hiring a team to operate the ETU and to teach others to do the same. It will include:
• Medical professionals (medical doctors and nurses, preferably with experience in infectious diseases)
• Water, sanitation and environmental health experts (including biological hazards, waste management and community-based hygiene promotion)
• Mental health professionals (psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers)
Prior experience in emergency contexts or under-resourced settings is desired. A minimum six-week commitment is required and includes in-country training time. All positions are salaried. If you are able to consider the assignment, please register and provide your resume at our jobs portal via the link below. We will then provide more information on position descriptions, safety training, personal protection and logistics as we proceed.
