Full Text of JOE Listing:

IFPRI seeks a Research Fellow/Senior Research Fellow and Leader of its country strategy program in Malawi for a two-year, exempt, renewable appointment based in Lilongwe, Malawi. The final grade level will be determined by demonstrated experience and track record of publications.

The Malawi country strategy program aims to enhance capacity in Malawi for evidence-based policy making in the areas of agriculture, food security, and nutrition. It supports research and capacity strengthening for the implementation of Malawi’s national agricultural development strategies. It addresses policy effectiveness and coherence within the agricultural sector as well as between the agricultural sector and other sectors key to economic growth, poverty reduction, and food security. Key research and capacity strengthening activities will be carried out with a broad array of agricultural sector stakeholders.

It is anticipated that about 30 percent of the job will be allocated to program management, including fundraising, and the other 70 percent to research, capacity building, and policy communication and outreach activities related to the country program. The Fellow will complete research projects, publish papers/books, and participate in various conferences, policy advisory forums, and capacity strengthening training programs.
