Research Associates Opportunities in Uganda

Researchers pursuing post-graduate studies are welcome to join the RLP as research associates. Through this partnership, they can continue their personal work while benefiting from our institutional resources and services, which include:

* Unlimited use of our Information Centre

* Logistic help and advice on the requirements of conducting field research, such as obtaining research permission, handling bureaucratic channels, and accessing our extensive network of contacts

Research Associates are expected to have progress review meetings with their supervisors as well as the Director as laid down in the Research Associate Schedule, and may be requested to prepare briefing notes and/or working papers where time permits.

Research Associates are expected to pay an Affiliation fee based on the length of period. However, due to limited space at the RLP, we may not be able to offer this placement all year round.
