- Assist in preparing AMR evidence products, including national snapshot reports, charts, and dashboards tailored for policy, clinical, and programmatic audiences.
- Maintain comprehensive analytical documentation, records, and trackers, including support for NAP-AMR 2.0 action tracking.
- Facilitate capacity building by documenting datasets, analytical methods, and workflows to enable smooth handover and institutionalisation within NIH counterparts.
- Collaborate with AMR specialists and other team members to ensure alignment with broader IHR/NAPHS health security frameworks and avoid duplication of efforts.

- Experience in conducting literature reviews and rapid evidence synthesis.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to data quality.
- Effective written communication and documentation skills.
- Ability to manage multiple tasks, meet deadlines, and work collaboratively under supervision.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits:
- Familiarity with AMR or laboratory surveillance data systems, such as WHONET or GLASS, is highly desirable.

- Female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply, reflecting the programme’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.
- Opportunity to contribute to a high-impact national health security initiative with capacity-building and institutional strengthening components.
