Background APRI - Africa Policy Research Institute is an independent, non-partisan African policy institute researching key policy issues affecting the African continent. Its goals are to provide input to the German and EU policy-making processes on Africa and options on key policy issues to African stakeholders. To do this, APRI taps into the expertise of African intellectuals, scholars, and networks, collaborating with various organizations to conduct policy research that looks beyond prevailing narratives and transcends disciplinary hegemonies to center Africa. Its outputs include reports, policy briefs, and short analyses to expand to other innovative ways of disseminating its work. APRI seeks to engage a working student who is enrolled at a German university to join APRI as Office Manager. The Office Manager will support in shaping an environment where every team member feels supported, inspired, and excited to come to work. The Office Manager will be part of the Executive Office Team. APRI is building a diverse and inclusive team. We particularly welcome applications from candidates with perspectives that are underrepresented in policy debates. To apply, submit a resume and cover letter to hr@afripoli.org with “Working Student - Office Manager” in the subject line by November 29, 2024.
