The ENN is looking to appoint a Cash Study Research Facilitator (RF) to work within a research team. This is an exciting position for someone with an interest in carrying out field based research in challenging contexts.
The study will be a randomised stepped wedge trial to determine the impact of cash transfer programmes on child nutritional status.
Purpose of Assignment: The Cash Research Facilitator will be responsible for implementing the study related activities on a day to day basis in country and for communicating and coordinating with the Implementing Agency and the Principal Investigator (PI).
