Research Officer (Behavioral Research & Economics)
Extension Africa
Job Description
- Extension Africa is seeking a Research Officer (Behavioral Research & Economics) to bring behavioral science into the heart of how we design and deliver advisory and business services to farmers, agents and vendors.
- Based in Kano or Abuja, the successful candidate will lead behavioral enquiry into our users and translate findings directly into product, service and commercial decisions — research that changes what is built and sold, not research that sits in a report.
- The role sits within the Research & Evaluation department and contributes to the wider research portfolio. Contract is 12 months, renewable subject to performance and funding. Up to 20% field travel required.
Requirements
- Master's Degree in Behavioral Science, Behavioral or Applied Economics, Agricultural Economics, Economics, Psychology, Sociology, or a closely related field
- 3–5 years' applied research experience including demonstrable behavioral or experimental work
- Demonstrated experience designing and analyzing experiments — randomized trials, A/B tests, lab-in-the-field or discrete choice experiments
- Strong quantitative skills including regression analysis and causal inference using Stata, R or Python
- Competence in qualitative methods: in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, observation and structured coding
- Excellent academic and plain-English writing; candidates will be assessed on a writing sample
- Willingness to conduct fieldwork in rural communities
- PhD or advanced research training in a behavioral or economic discipline is an advantage
- Publication record in peer-reviewed journals or recognized working paper series is an advantage
- Working proficiency in Hausa or another relevant Nigerian language is an advantage.
Benefits
- Competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience
- 12-month renewable contract subject to performance and funding
- Opportunity to publish peer-reviewed research under the Extension Africa name
- Exposure to cutting-edge behavioral and experimental work in rural African contexts
- Equal opportunity employer — women are strongly encouraged to apply.
