Job description
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.
Health programs represent the largest single sector within which IRC currently operates, constituting approximately 45% of the international budget and with activities in 22 countries. Field-based health staff are supported by a headquarters Health Unit comprised of health professionals with many years of experience in humanitarian work. The Health Unit contributes to the effectiveness and comprehensiveness of IRC primary health care programs through technical support, staff development, and institutional learning. The Health Unit ensures quality programs by promoting self-reliance, participation, sustainability, equity, and human dignity. The Health Unit is committed to the development of the field of humanitarian assistance through advocacy, documentation of lessons learned and research.
The IRC is leading a multi-agency program of operational research to develop a combined protocol for the treatment of severe and moderate acute malnutrition. The IRC is recruiting a Senior Coordinator for Nutrition Research to guide stage 1 of the research.

Although field travel is not expected, some short-term travel may be necessary depending on field team needs. Priority will be given to those who can be based in IRC's New York office, although consideration will be given to qualified candidates outside New York, particularly given the short-term nature of the position. Dates of position: December 1, 2014- April 15, 2015.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Provide overall supervision and technical guidance to the program of research
• Coordinate with research consortium partners, including arranging regular meetings and liaising with partner point persons to ensure adherence to the stage 1 timeline and deadlines

REQUIREMENTS:
• At least three years experience in the coordination and implementation of nutrition research programs in developing countries
