About Project:

The widespread adoption of mobile phones offers an opportunity for novel interventions that have the power to integrate rural agricultural markets and increase competition.  ICT specifically designed to link farmers and input providers, as well as farmers and buyers, could generate major improvements in farmer livelihoods and agricultural market efficiency.  This study evaluates the impact of a randomized electronic Warehouse (eWarehouse) system.   This technology serves two roles.  First, it bulks famers’ input orders.  By exploiting economies of scale for transportation and transaction costs, this enables input providers to reach last-mile rural markets and offer agricultural inputs at a lower price, with the ultimate goal of increasing farmer yields.  Second, it electronically aggregates information about harvest levels at the village level and provides this information publicly to nationwide agricultural traders, alleviating the transactions cost that limit farmers’ ability to link with large-scale buyers and enhancing competitiveness among those vying for farmers’ produce and increase.  This study will explore the impact that this project has on market prices, buyer behavior, and the efficiency of rural agricultural markets. 

Key Duties and Responsibilities:  

• Oversee multiple project data collection activities, including surveys of agricultural traders and markets;
• Develop and pilot survey instruments;
• Train, build and manage teams to conduct surveys with retailers and agricultural traders;
• Ensure all aspects of data quality and assist with data cleaning and preliminary analysis;
• Oversee project budget, including tracking project expenses and adherence to the project budget;
• Manage relations with the research team’s Ugandan NGO partner as a “liaison”;
• Work closely with principal investigators and the local partners to ensure study protocols are followed;
• Perform any other duties as assigned

Qualifications, Skills and Experience:

• The applicant should possess a Bachelor’s degree (Master’s preferred) in economics, social sciences, or related field
• Excellent management and organizational skills along with strong quantitative skills  
• Experience managing multiple teams simultaneously and prioritizing projects preferred
• Exceptional interpersonal, verbal and written communication skills 
• Fluency in English required
• Flexible, self-motivating, able to manage multiple tasks efficiently, and a team player
• Detail oriented and able to work independently
• Good understanding and familiarity with randomized controlled trials is a strong plus
• Experience living in a developing country preferred
• Past exposure and experience living in Africa or background in economics/agricultural studies is a plus, but not required
• Familiarity with database management and/or software development is a plus, but not required

How to Apply:

Please follow the application instructions below.  Any applications or CVs submitted outside this process will not be considered.  Note, only short-listed candidates will be contacted for an interview. Applicants will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
