She was then awarded the Clarendon Scholarship to do a DPhil at the Department of Social Policy and Intervention. Upon completion of her DPhil, Marija worked as a Senior Advisor for Research and Evaluation at the International HIV/AIDS Alliance (now Frontline AIDS), a global partnership of civil society organisations that work together to mobilise communities against HIV and AIDS.

Marija is currently a Public Health Lecturer at University of Sussex, where she conducts research and teaching that promotes health equity.

“I am passionate about maximising the utility of research for evidence-based practice and I am lucky to work closely with public health and human rights advocates from across the world. I also served as a technical advisor/consultant for numerous public health, international development and civil society organisations including the Global Network of People Living with HIV (GNP+), Regional Psychosocial Support Initiative (REPSSI), the Asian Network of People Who Use Drugs (ANPUD), USAID, UNAIDS, National AIDS Manual (NAM), Management Sciences for Health, The Urban Institute and Chemonics International.”
