PROJECT OFFICER

We seek a Project Officer for our Research Capacity Strengthening Division to support with the partnership coordination component for key projects in the division.

PROGRAM MANAGER

We seek to recruit a Program Manager to work in the Research Capacity Strengthening Division. The Program Manager will lead a large-scale initiative whose goals are to transform the R&D ecosystem in Africa.

PROGRAM COORDINATOR

APHRC seeks to recruit a Program Coordinator to work in its Research Capacity Strengthening Division to support the management and coordination of the Training Program. This is an opportunity to join an existing team dedicated to conducting research-related short course training focusing on postgraduates and early-career researchers.
The ideal candidate will have up to 2 (two) years’ relevant post-doctoral experience facilitating research methodology workshops and possess strong analytical skills (quantitative or qualitative).

PROGRAM ADMINISTRATOR

The African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) is an international non-profit organization that carries out high quality and policy-relevant research on population and health issues in sub-Saharan Africa.
In Kenya, cancer is the third leading cause of death after infectious diseases and cardiovascular diseases. However, the current response to this scourge in the country is inadequate, focused mostly on treatment of advanced disease. This has led to a largely unabated increase in the number of new cases of cancer and those dying from the disease.
It is in this context that we are establishing a Partnership for Cancer Prevention and Control in Kenya. Recognising the stewardship role government plays (or should play) in ensuring the health of all Kenyans, the Partnership will play a critical role in supporting the Kenya government in fulfilling its mandate, whilst holding it accountable in ensuring that all Kenyans have the best possible chance of living healthy lives.
The main intention of this initiative is to facilitate the establishment of a well-coordinated, multi- and inter-sectoral response that complements and supports efforts by the government in addressing the rising burden of cancer. The Partnership will, therefore, seek to integrate and coordinate efforts and actions from various actors in cancer prevention, and catalyze a shift in the balance of efforts between treatment and prevention by the government. It will bring together a broad range of institutions and actors to implement joint actions that are informed by multi- and inter-sectoral perspectives.
