I am a MBBS graduate with interest in clinical research and public health.
I am looking for opportunities as a research assistant or fellow in institutions doing research in
1.clinical areas eg evidence based medicine, reproductive health, population control, infectious disease (HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis etc) , noncommunicable diseases
2.public health ( health economics, health equity) especially in developing countries
3.Medical education ( quality and satisfaction measurements and improvements)
Are you able to relocate to a different country, or are you looking for something in Nigeria? Are you able to ask professors/research groups/NGOs in your country if they have openings in any of these area? Do you belong to professional associations that maintain lists of job openings? Can't speak for any country other than the United States, but for positions in the US, look on the internet for the major schools of public health and then search for job postings. (For example, here's where you'd look for Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health: jobs.columbia.edu) Good luck.
Hi Ikenna,
These days, it isn't sufficient anymore to be a simple MD, if you'd like to get a Job in Research. What is commonly expected is a 'proven' interest in the area where you aiming at, that is having graduated as ell as a M.P.H. (for example). Many colleagues hold MD MPH degrees, hence one of those will have a Advantage when applying. In addition, it will be desirable of you have published already in your area of interest, or participated in relevant research.....
Good luck!

Public health activities in developing countries are mostly government supported.I think you should think about join in Nigerian Govt. Public Health wing first.
