*NORCAP is seeking to recruit an Analysis Hub Team Leader to lead ACAPS team in Cox’s Bazar (Bangladesh). It will be a 6-month mission with the possibility of contract extension.*

Overview
ACAPS has been supporting the response in Cox’s Bazar since November 2017, using available secondary data to produce multi-sectoral information products that analyse the needs of the refugees and host communities.

The successful candidate will sit within NPM’s offices and work collaboratively with NPM and other partners to provide analytical support to their regular work, including ensuring support is provided on research design, primary data analysis, and secondary data reviews.
