The Agriculture Research Manager will be responsible for the following:
New Research Identification – The agricultural products and trainings that we provide to hundreds of thousands of smallholder farmers each year evolve each season as a result of lessons we learn from research. You will be responsible for identifying new products/trainings (e.g. new seeds, fertilizers, planting practices, pest management practices, etc.) and research methods that we can pursue to increase the impact that our program delivers to smallholder farmers.
External Relationships – We work with a number of external research institutions, including national research organizations and international research institutions such as those from the CGIAR. You will be partially responsible for liaising with some of these institutions in an effort to engage in two-way information sharing, collaboration, and to ensure that One Acre Fund is up to speed on the latest in applied agricultural research.

Global Research Coordination – The Agricultural Research Team is responsible for coordinating cross-country research initiatives such as climate change adaptation strategies, a longitudinal study of the effect of the One Acre Fund program on soil health, and the adaptation of agronomic products and decisions to local, heterogeneous conditions. You will take on a leadership role in global research coordination, especially with respect to agronomic local adaptation.
Technical Support – Our field teams request guidance on practical applications of technical concepts from time to time. You will be responsible for synthesizing technical concepts and applying them to digestible, actionable recommendations. This may take the form of developing trainings and decision support tools in addition to more ad-hoc guidance. Additionally you will occasionally be responsible for writing topical memos / briefs on important agricultural research concepts to influence organizational decisions and improve organizational knowledge.
Soil Lab (if appropriate) – One Acre Fund manages a soil lab in western Kenya where we run spectroscopic soil analyses for country teams to inform research decisions and programmatic changes. Depending on your background you may be involved with the management of our soil lab.
