2 weeks ago

Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan CERP | Evidence Matters Full time 900,000 - 1,200,000 per year

Project and Position Description

The Infant Feeding Project at CERP primarily aims to conduct a Randomized Controlled Trial to evaluate an intervention involving a mHealth tool and associated training targeting community-based Lady Health Workers (LHWs) to increase WHO-recommended breastfeeding practices in rural Pakistan. In its current phase, the project involves the designing, development and testing of the said intervention which provides decision-making support and educational tools to LHWs on breastfeeding in order to ultimately improve infant and child health outcomes. The project's scope may also include additional studies related to LHWs and maternal and child health care in the future.

The Principal Investigators (PIs) on the project are Dr. Erica Field (Duke University), Dr. Katherine Vyborny (World Bank), Dr. Muhammad Yasir Khan (University of Pittsburgh), Dr. Nicola Singletary (North Carolina State University), Dr. Laila Ladak (Aga Khan University), Ms. Zohra Kurji (Aga Khan University), Ms. Zahra Shaheen (formerly Aga Khan University). The project involves working closely with Principal Investigators and partner organizations, including those in the provincial health departments, to design and implement the project.

CERP is recruiting a Research Associate based at the CERP office in Lahore (including possible travel to rural areas around Lahore for fieldwork). CERP's project teams are small, and the amount of work we accomplish is significant. The Research Associate will be reporting to the Program Manager and the PIs.
