Clinton Health Access Initiative
Senior Research Associate, Monitoring and Evaluation

Job Location: Boston, MA, USA
Business Unit: Major Programs

The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) recently reached a strategic decision to
apply the techniques it has used successfully to improve access to HIV/AIDS and
malaria treatment in developing countries to essential vaccines.

CHAI is planning to support national governments of high burden countries to
accelerate the introduction and uptake of life-saving pneumococcal and rotavirus
vaccines. The first large countries to introduce these vaccines will present essential
learning opportunities to inform introductions throughout the rest of the developing
world. As such, CHAI anticipates that robust evaluation and operational research will be
a critical component of its support in this area, working closely with partner
organizations such as the World Health Organization and UNICEF. This evaluation and
research will be pursued within the context of CHAI’s greater organizational focus on
implementing “evidence generating activities” to achieve greater health impact through
its work.

We are seeking a talented, highly motivated, and flexible individual with deep
knowledge and experience with health evaluation and operational research to design
and drive CHAI’s relevant analytical work on vaccines. More broadly, this individual will
help to shape and guide CHAI’s approach to evidence generation across its entire
global portfolio. The Specialist will be based in the East Cost of the United States with
significant travel. Experience livingand working in the developing world and working on
vaccine-specific research are plusses..
