Field Officer Job in Kisii Kenya – Busara Center for Behavioral Economics

Busara Center for Behavioral Economics is a research and advisory organization that pursues two twin missions of advancing behavioral science and alleviating poverty.

We work with researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers to conduct rigorous field and laboratory based experimental studies in behavioral economics in developing countries and apply research outcomes to real-world problems. We are headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya with active project operations in Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Nigeria.

Field Officers support both the advisory and research arms of Busara by serving as the primary data collection team, collecting qualitative, quantitative and administrative data.

Field Officers will be expected to be able to understand a research instrument and be able to efficiently and effectively collect data to address the core research question.

In addition, Field Officers are expected to have first-hand knowledge of their project population and be able to raise any potential challenges to data collection or data quality to supervisors on Project or Project Operations teams.

Additionally, Field Officers should have the ability to work independently and as part of a team. Field Officers report to Project Leads on project-based activities and to Project Operations Managers for all other responsibilities.
