IPA MAICE Project Associate Job in Meru, Kenya

Mitigating Aflatoxin for Improving Child Growth in Eastern Kenya (MAICE)
Start Date: ideally Dec 2013, contingent on suitable candidate; no later than May 2014
Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) seeks qualified applicants for the position of Project Associate for the MAICE project.
Chronic exposure to aflatoxin, a fungal byproduct commonly found in maize, has been linked to liver cancer and suppressed immune system function.
Non-experimental evidence suggests exposure to the toxin could also negatively impact children’s development. In Kenya, where maize is a staple in the diet, estimates of aflatoxin contamination vary by site and year, with various studies showing between 16% and 65% of maize exceeds the allowable limit.
MAICE is a randomized controlled trial being undertaken by IFPRI to better understand (i) the effectiveness of improved post-harvest practices and maize storage for reducing the presence of aflatoxin in stored maize; and (ii) the effect of aflatoxin consumption on stunting in children. The project began in Jan 2013 and will close in Dec 2015. Activities in 2014 and 2015 will involve mid-line and endline data collection, as well as continued implementation of two different treatment arms. The project is based in Meru and Tharaka-Nithi Counties, Kenya. Midline data collection is set to start in February 2014.
The position offers an opportunity to gain first-hand field management experience in an organization undertaking cutting-edge development research. The principal investigators are Vivian Hoffmann, Kelly Jones and Jef Leroy.
 The Project Associate will work closely with the IPA-Kenya Country Office and the PIs (academic researchers) to perform a variety of tasks including, but not limited to: sophisticated logistic planning, implementing project design, programming survey questionnaires, hiring and managing survey teams, running pilot exercises, checking and analyzing data, cleaning data and assisting in preliminary analysis, assisting in the writing of project reports and policy memos, financial accounting, HR, and various administrative tasks. The Project Associate/Project Coordinator will be based in Meru.
