Now let’s drop those visa fees and NHS surcharges right away to send a clear signal and reap the benefits!

We're hiring a research associate or research manager for a project in the DRC! This is a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in gaining very hands-on research and work experience in a low-income country in partnership with the local government. Also a great preparation for a PhD.
