Program Manager
We are looking for a Program Manager to join a dynamic team working on maternal and newborn survival projects in lower and middle-income countries. Project work in Ethiopia provides significant opportunities in the increasingly important global health area of maternal and child health. Our scope of research ranges from the discovery of interventions to the delivery of care to improve health.
With financial support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, HaSET (“happiness” in Amharic) works closely with partners in Ethiopia and Ethiopia’s Federal Ministry of Health to generate evidence to inform programs and policies aimed at improving maternal and child health. We have several ongoing public health and clinical research projects. In addition, we provide significant technical capacity building to colleagues in program implementation, data analysis, and use of evidence through direct collaborative work and workshops. This position will provide full-time research and managerial leadership in Ethiopia, working closely with the Boston and Ethiopia team.
