Associate Professor Jim Black is a public health physician and epidemiologist, with broad interests including disease surveillance and outbreak preparedness, public health informatics and research ethics. He spent ten years in and around Africa, including four years as a 'general duties doctor' in Mozambique, a year as project epidemiologist in the Adult Morbidity and Mortality Project in Tanzania, and another four years in Mozambique as a provincial level epidemiologist. He later took six months out of his PhD in infectious disease epidemiology to work in disease surveillance and epidemic preparedness for the World Health Organisation in newly-independent East Timor. Jim comes to the institute from the Royal Melbourne Hospital where he has headed epidemiology in the Victorian Infectious Diseases Service since 2002.
