Job Title: Research Associate

Location: Lagos

Job Description

• We are seeking a motivated, creative, and highly organized Research Associate to support our Research Manager.
• This isn’t a “siloed” academic role. You will be deeply embedded in a small, agile team where your work directly influences product design and user outcomes.
• You will design the research methodology, manage its detailed implementation, linkage to product and functional department teams, and lead the communication of results internally and externally.

Key Responsibilities

• Protocol & Ethics: Draft and manage IRB submissions, ensuring all digital health interventions meet the highest ethical standards.
• Academic Output: Assist in the end-to-end process of publishing papers, from literature reviews and data analysis to manuscript preparation and conference abstract submissions.
• Cross-functional support: Work synergistically with data, clinical, and research teams, overseeing data collection processes and guiding the analysis of findings.
• Knowledge Leadership: Facilitate internal learning by running Journal Clubs and distilling complex research into actionable insights for non-researchers. Stay updated with the latest trends and advancements in chronic disease management, whole-centered care, and health tech, including AI.
• Project Management: Ensure implementation and maintain research timelines, and ensure data collection processes are streamlined and accurate.
• Team Participation: meetings with clinical, coaching, data, ML, tech team, and BU teams to ensure that the best data and the most accurate models are updated and in place.

Who you are

• Education: Master’s degree in Public Health, Psychology, Behavioral Science, Health Informatics, or a related field.
• Experience: 1–3 years of experience in a research setting (digital health experience is a major plus), in Public Health, healthcare. Basic understanding of healthcare systems, health service delivery, or health policy.
• The “Startup” Mindset: You possess high self-efficacy. You don’t wait for a manual; you figure out how to solve problems creatively.
• The Researcher’s Eye: You have a solid grasp of qualitative and quantitative research methodologies.
• The Communicator: You can turn dense academic findings into compelling narratives for conferences or internal stakeholders.
• Demonstrated experience with scientific writing (provide a portfolio or list of publications).
• Expertise in using AI tools for research and productivity. (preferred)
