Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] You must be affiliated with a National Agricultural Research Institute or organisation, hold a Master's in economics or agricultural economics, and use STATA and NVivo

2. WHAT TO GET READY
[ ] CV or resume (One or two pages. No CV yet? Our CV starter builds a plain one from your answers.)
[ ] Cover or motivation letter (Short, written for this one: why this, what you have done that fits.)
[ ] Transcripts (Ask your school early. Offices can take weeks.)
[ ] Certificates or degree copies (Scan or photograph them clearly, in good light, flat.)
In their words: "An application through ILRI's jobs portal with a cover letter marked with reference RF/ILRI/IWMI_NRB/01/2026, a CV and your academic transcripts or certificates."

3. DATES
- No closing date is stated.
- Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. (our advice)

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
