Africa Policy Research Institute is hiring for a Remote Short-Term Research Consultancy
Background and Objective
APRI – Africa Policy Research Institute is an independent, non-partisan African policy institute researching key policy issues affecting the African continent. Its mandate is two-fold: to provide insights to European and global actors’ policy making processes that concern Africa – especially those that can affect Africa’s abilities to spur economic development and create jobs for the youngest continent; and to support African countries with analyses required to advance their development priorities in their interactions with foreign actors.
To do this, APRI taps into the expertise of African intellectuals, scholars, and networks, collaborating with a wide range of organizations at home and abroad to conduct policy research that looks beyond prevailing narratives and transcends disciplinary hegemonies to center Africa. Its outputs include reports, policy briefs, commentaries, short analyses and a podcast, with the goal of expanding to other innovative ways of disseminating its work.
APRI seeks to engage a research consultant for a short-term research consultancy under its Africa’s Geopolitics and Geoeconomics Program. The Program dives deep into the complexities of a multipolar world and Africa’s positioning within it, providing evidence-based analysis and policy innovation, and offering a platform for discussions, collaborations, and broader policy and practical engagements.
APRI is therefore seeking a short-term research consultant to join its team under Africa’s Geopolitics and Geoeconomics Program. This role offers the chance to contribute to a cutting-edge policy brief on India’s positioning in the global critical raw materials (CRM) value chain, with a focus on its relationships with Africa, the EU, and BRICS+.
Scope of Work
- Investigate India’s CRM strategy, partnerships, and the implications for the African continent.
- Conduct research, interviews, and contribute to an online policy event.
If you have valuable experience conducting research and providing policy recommendations on Africa, India, critical minerals, and renewable energy then this opportunity is for you!
Qualifications Required
- Minimum of 8 years of relevant professional experience in important topics in energy policy, economics, international relations and public policy.
- Graduate degree in a relevant field.
- Prior work on Africa, India, Europe, critical raw materials and renewable energy is desired.
- Excellent writing and analytical skills.
- Independent research and consultancy profile, proven through research outputs and policy recommendations.
- Excellent oral and written command of English.
