Job Title:\u00a0Director, Research Role Purpose<\/strong><\/p>\n Geopolitical\/SBU\/Function Overview<\/strong> In recent years British Council Nigeria has delivered a number of research projects that have contributed to national debate on critical issues notably Next Generation research (2012), Gender in Nigeria (2012) and Gender in Education in Nigeria (2014). As well as these large scale publications we also produce a range of research and action research projects linked to programme activity such as the Gender in Teacher Education project in partnership with the MacArthur Foundation, research on the impact of language in the classroom and action research on teaching employability skills in secondary schools (also with the MacArthur Foundation). A common feature of our own research projects is an element that builds research skills in early career researchers and sector practitioners (such as teachers, Ministry officials and arts audiences) to contribute to the increase in quantity and quality of Nigerian research.<\/p>\n This development coincides with the increased use of research by governments and the development sector internationally and the British Council\u2019s corporate decision to enhance its role as a thought leader in the strategic business units (SBUs) of education and society, arts and English.<\/p>\n By putting this research capacity in place we also strengthen our own internal monitoring, evaluation and learning systems.<\/p>\n This role is central to driving these developments forward.<\/p>\n Accountabilities, Responsibilities and Main Duties<\/strong> Strategy Development and Implementation:<\/p>\n Portfolio Management:<\/p>\n Team Leadership and Management:<\/p>\n Continuous Professional Development:<\/p>\n Resource Management:<\/p>\n External Stakeholders & Key Relationships:<\/p>\n Key Relationships<\/strong> External:<\/p>\n Role Requirements<\/strong> Assessment Stage:<\/p>\n Person Specification<\/strong> Desirable:<\/p>\n Assessment Stage:<\/p>\n Role Specific Knowledge & Experience\u00a0<\/strong> Assessment Stage:<\/p>\n Language Requirements<\/strong> Assessment Stage:<\/p>\n

\nNigeria is one of the largest economies in Africa. It is also the most populous country with over 170 million citizens. The UK is its largest trading partner. Nigeria holds significant political power in the region and internationally and its society retains a positive attitude to the UK. There are therefore major opportunities for the UK and BC to increase influence, income and, through this, our impact by building on our strong existing relationships with the Nigerian government, institutions and customers\/audiences. However, there are complex and substantial risks to this work i.e. security and compliance.<\/p>\n
