The Operations Research and Impact Evaluation (ORIE) Project is an
independent component of the six-year, DFID-funded Working to Improve
Nutrition in Northern Nigeria (WINNN) programme seeking to improve the
nutritional status of 6.2 million children under five across five
northern Nigerian states of Kebbi, Katsina, Jigawa, Zamfara, and Yobe.
ORIE is managed by Oxford Policy Management (OPM) and consists of three
other UK-based institutions, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical
Medicine (LSHTM), the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) and Save
the Children UK (SCUK) in conjunction with Nigerian partners. The
overall purpose of ORIE is to “fill important gaps in knowledge about
the causes of and optimal responses to undernutrition in Northern
Nigeria”. ORIE undertakes various kinds of research and evaluation to
this end.
One of ORIE’s objectives is to strengthen capacity to undertake and
disseminate research to improve nutrition in the Northern states of
Nigeria. ORIE will fund researchers to undertake high quality research
which will contribute to improving maternal and child nutrition in the
Northern states, and support them by offering training, networking
activities and the support of a more experienced mentor.
This work will be facilitated and supported by a part-time Research
Coordinator based in ORIE’s Abuja office hence this is a part-time
position. The Research Coordinator will undertake a wide range of
coordination, management and administrative tasks including coordinating
with a wide range of nutrition researchers and stakeholders working on
nutrition in Nigeria. This is an administrative post and would benefit
from an interest in research in general, but does not require any
technical subject knowledge.
The Research Coordinator will be hired for a fixed term, from December
2014 through December 2016, with a three month probationary period.
