The GHPL is looking for an experienced scientist in health policy to be based at the CCGH. Your area of responsibility The GHPL (www.globalhealthpolicylab.org) aims to be the leading AI-enabled platform designed for health policy-makers, providing comprehensive tools for accessing, comparing, and generating health policies. Its vision ultimately is to make evidence-based health policy development a universal reality.

In this role, the candidate will contribute to the delivery of the GHPL's goals, in collaboration with internal and external partners.

The incumbent will participate in project management and conduct, tracking and documenting progress, adapting communications materials for various audiences, organising or facilitating face-to-face and online workshops or policy dialogue events on selected aspects of health policy. In addition, the successful candidate will contribute towards building and maintaining strategic partnerships with global and regional stakeholders from different sectors (international organisations, academia, civil society organisations, government agencies and industry). The successful candidate will be expected to keep abreast of new policy developments including digital tools, and participate in relevant events or conferences, and collaborative visits as needed.
