  • Assistant Principal

    Assistant Principal

    Nova Pioneer is looking for an outstanding educator to serve as Assistant Principal and lead professional development for teachers at our first school in Kenya and South Africa. This is an opportunity to help create a transformative school model with the future of Africa’s youth at stake.
    ABOUT THE ROLE
    We are looking for an exceptional individual to be part of the leadership team launching Nova’s second school, slated to open in January 2017. This school represents Nova’s first attempt to replicate its school model and to prove that it is possible to maintain an extremely high quality standard and to continue innovating as Nova grows. As Assistant Principal you will play a critical role in realizing this aspiration by leading teacher coaching and development at Nova’s second school and co-leading on school culture together with the Principal. Our tentative expectation is that the second school will be a boarding secondary school for girls.
    Your single biggest responsibility in the school’s first year of operation will be helping the Principal establish an extremely strong and vibrant school culture consistent with Nova’s core culture principles. Over time, as this culture takes root, you will shift your primary focus to teacher development. Drawing on support from instructional leaders on Nova’s network team, you will create a professional development “machine” inside the school: deliberate practice routines and management habits that stretch team members professionally and give them higher quality, more intensive coaching than they can get anywhere else. You will build a pipeline of homegrown local teacher talent inside the school that produces master teachers and great instructional leaders over time.
    Specific key responsibilities for the role include:

    Work with the Principal to articulate a compelling short- and long-term vision for the development of the school’s culture and program
    Set and model a consistent tone of highest expectations, joy, and growth mindset
    Lead key school rituals as needed to model and ingrain culture
    Quickly identify and respond to classroom/school culture or behavior issues
    Serve as hiring manager for all instructional staff hires
    Coach teachers through extensive observation and feedback
    Supervise all professional development routines and activities across the school
    Facilitate collaboration among teachers within/across grade levels and subject areas
    Support the Principal in his or her own professional development—particularly as relates to instructional leadership
    Collect, analyze, share and interpret internal and external school assessment data and ensure that data is used strategically to improve student academic performance.
    Oversee planning, execution and analysis of intervention programs targeted at needs of diverse academic subgroups, whether remedial or enrichment. 

    ABOUT YOU

    You have 4+ years of experience in a rigorous, high-expectations school setting including at least one instructional leadership role (e.g., department chair, grade level lead, teacher coach, etc.)
    You are widely recognized as a highly effective teacher and can model what great, inquiry-based teaching looks like
    You have a track record of improving other people’s performance through coaching and build uncommonly strong relationships
    You have an exceptional ability to think strategically and yet you sweat the small stuff—people see you as unusually detail-oriented and conscientious
    You are driven by data and know how to use data from student assessments to strengthen and differentiate student learning
    You are excited about our organizational culture—and in particular, you are fired up to challenge yourself by embracing mutual vulnerability and a firehose of feedback
    You have a desire to further develop your learning design skills and apply them to transform the lives of African youth

  • Post-Doctoral Scientist – Sustainable Livestock Systems

    Post-Doctoral Scientist – Sustainable Livestock Systems

    Job Description
    The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) seeks to recruit a Post-Doctoral Scientist – Sustainable Livestock Systems to develop and implement a range of activities aimed at developing evidence around the impacts of public and market based development interventions and support the improvement of and scaling out of a crowdsourcing platform.
    The position
    This position will be part of the Index Based Livestock Insurance (IBLI) team as it works to support sustainable livelihood options for dryland populations. The team’s original research for development agenda focused on mitigating the negative effects of drought on pastoralists by developing and scaling index insurance for pastoralists in the Horn of Africa. The IBLI team has recently added “improving access to information from and in remote, data-scarce regions” as a second development agenda. Currently, efforts associated with this new agenda rely on exploiting new technologies, particularly those afforded by increased use of and access too mobile phone networks, to collect high resolution local information more cost effectively, processing those data applying machine-learning technics and others data application innovations, often by integrating them with additional sources of data, and then packing the information in a range of suitable formats for widespread information (e.g., to policy makers, pastoralist, commercial service providers).
    The postdoc filling this position will support ongoing projects in both agendas and work with our team as we identify new opportunities to address information scarcities. Key activities include the following.

    The postdoc will help to develop and implement a range of activities aimed at developing evidence around the impacts of public and market based development interventions, including cash transfers, IBLI, and graduation programs.
    The postdoc will support the improvement of and scaling out of a crowdsourcing platform that currently collects information on livestock markets. Scaling includes improving the usability of the platform, scaling it out to new markets, and piloting the collection of other types of data (e.g., waterpoint and rangeland conditions, disease outbreaks, incidence of cattle rustling). Furthermore, the postdoc must have an enthusiasm for working with ICT solutions for development, a keen interest in the data collected by the platform to lead research drawing on the data, and the skills to engage with partner organizations to develop a sustainable model for the platform.
    The postdoc will also support activities related to the IBLI agenda, which include but are not restricted to supporting our agenda of improving the sustainability of the business models used by IBLI underwriters in the region, and efforts to better understand the constraints faced by pastoralists in the Horn of Africa.

    The position is a research and implementation position, which means that the individual filling the position will be expected to develop research ideas, help to implement them, and publish scholarly articles as well as communication outputs targeting non-academic partners. Furthermore, ILRI’s research for development approach necessitates engaging with local stakeholders and policy makers.
    Responsibilities:

    Lead and contribute to the design and implementation of experiments and targeted surveys to generate relevant data for impact assessments, hypothesis-testing, participatory engagement, and other analysis required for supporting, refining or expanding the agenda.
    Lead and co-author papers for peer-reviewed publication and support the broader dissemination of the message through research and policy briefs and other outreach materials
    Contribute to the development of successful grant proposals related to the team and broader program agenda
    Contribute to strengthening existing partnerships and building new and innovative partnerships for research and development
    Supervise research associates as required
    Work with pastoralists, their representations and other key stakeholders to improve uptake of some of the technologies/innovations developed under this program
    Contribute to the geographical expansion of the IBLI program, develop its stream of complementary services and related research, and help leverage and assess digital and mobile technology for improved service provision in the drylands

    Requirements:

    A PhD in Agricultural Economics, Development Economics, Public Policy or any related field requiring a high degree of skill in quantitative analysis
    At least 4 years of experience working in the field of development
    Track record writing academic journal articles
    Strong statistics background with experience using statistics packages
    Experience working in Africa and willingness to travel throughout Africa and work in difficult field environments

    Additional preferred skills:

    Experience using big data approaches to classification, android application development and SQL database management
    Competency in a language widely spoken in Africa other than English

    Post location: The position will be based in Nairobi, Kenya
    Position level: Post-doctoral level.
    Duration: 3 years with the possibility of renewal, contingent upon individual performance and continued funding.
    Benefits: ILRI offers a competitive salary and benefits package which includes medical insurance, life insurance and allowances for: education, housing, home leave, and annual holiday entitlement of 30 days + public holidays.
