Who we are
We’re Population Services International (PSI), the world’s leading non-profit social marketing organization. We work to make it easier for people in the developing world to lead healthier lives and plan the families they desire by marketing affordable products and services that range from mosquito nets to contraceptives to HIV testing.
There are over 9,000 “PSI’ers” around the world. It’s a diverse group of entrepreneurs and professionals with an unusually wide range of backgrounds - from the medical industry to the music business - all with unique skills we bring to the job.
Join us!
For over 25 year, PSI Cambodia, and its independent network member Population Services Khmer (PSK) have worked to harness the power of the private sector to improve the health of the poor and vulnerable.  From social marketing campaigns for Number One condoms, supporting the Royal Government of Cambodia’s (RGC) 100 percent Condom Use Program, to the development and scale up of the Sun Quality Health Network across the country that offers a full range of reproductive health services, this organization is on the cutting edge of health innovation and impact.  Health programming now includes HIV prevention, reproductive health and family planning, and child survival (diarrhea prevention and treatment and pneumonia treatment).  Things get even more exciting when we talk about the malaria programming!

The Cambodian National Malaria Control Program, CNM, has just launched its Malaria Elimination Action Framework, targeting nationwide malaria elimination by 2025.  Through a mix of targeted and phased interventions, Cambodia and its partners will race to eliminate malaria in Cambodia and across the Greater Mekong Subregion, in light of the increasing threat of malaria drug resistance.  And PSI and YOU have a key role to play!



PSI Cambodia’s Malaria Technical Advisor is responsible for leading technical and overall management efforts of PSI’s rapidly expanding portfolio of malaria programs. Current projects include a cutting edge research program to examine drug resistance and elimination strategies in plantation workers; provision of early diagnostic and treatment services; a quality assurance program to improve malaria case management in the Cambodian private sector. Supplemental funding will focus on the integration of health areas (malaria, early childhood illness, nutrition, reproductive health) and surveillance, using a newly developed phone application for real-time case detection and reporting.
We are looking for a Malaria Technical Advisor to help us build capacity of PSK staff and to lend technical expertise to one of PSI’s most complex and diversified Malaria programs. The Malaria Technical Advisor is required to demonstrate strategic thinking in a fast moving and changing epidemiological and political context.  He/she is required to guide the program through new territory for PSI as Cambodia moves towards elimination and must be cognizant of several parallel large-scale initiatives at play. Maintaining strong partnerships with the national program and a seat at the table with the key donors and in-country partners remains critical. The Malaria Technical Advisor also offers guidance and assistance in the following areas: program management, financial management, human resource management, administration and logistics, and program evaluation.
