The applicant should have a proven working knowledge and experience of conducting literature reviews, data analysis, and writing high-quality research papers. The applicant must have excellent attention to detail, organizational, and communication skills with a focus on contributing to the collective success of the project.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Research Leadership & Fieldwork: Lead qualitative and quantitative research, supervise interviews, and oversee data collection on the ground, including travel to conflict-affected regions as necessary.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Establish and maintain relationships with local partners, oversee workshop coordination, and provide advanced Arabic-English translation and interpretation during interviews or meetings.
  • Project Outputs: Draft scholarly articles, policy briefs, and other deliverables, while mentoring team members on research methodologies and writing.
  • Team Management & Capacity Building: Mentor junior researchers and research associates, providing guidance on best practices in fieldwork and analysis.
  • Project Coordination: Manage research timelines and workflows, ensuring deliverables meet deadlines and quality standards.
  • Administrative Oversight: Oversee the organization of meetings, events, and travel logistics; ensure compliance with funder and DI guidelines; and prepare detailed progress reports for funding agencies.

WORK EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS:

  • Familiarity with international aid systems, Gulf donors, and multilateral organizations.
  • Knowledge of research techniques and methodologies, including development methods such as monitoring and evaluation and/or needs assessments.
  • Published track record in relevant fields.

REQUIRED SKILLS:
