This role was posted on April 20, 2026. Please note that we will review applications on a rolling basis.
The Role
At Last Mile Health, we dig data. Do you have experience analyzing qualitative data, identifying key themes, and translating insights into clear, actionable recommendations? If so, you may be our next Qualitative Research Consultant in Liberia.
This remote consultancy aims to generate deep, actionable insights from qualitative data collected by the MERL team in Liberia on the rollout of the malaria vaccine and the engagement of community health workers. Building on an earlier formative study, the work will focus on analyzing both previously coded and newly collected data to better understand changes in knowledge, perceptions, and behaviors related to the vaccine over time. The goal is to translate these insights into clear, evidence-based findings that can inform program learning and decision-making.
The consultant will play a critical role in bridging data to impact—developing a robust coding framework, conducting thorough analysis, and synthesizing findings into compelling outputs. These insights will support the refinement of program strategies, strengthen community health interventions, and guide future research and implementation efforts in Liberia’s malaria response.
This position is remote with a preference for candidates available to work in the GMT timezone.
Consultancy Details
An early (‘formative’) study on knowledge and perceptions around the malaria vaccine was conducted, the data uploaded and coded in Dedoose, but has not been fully written up. In addition, a second ‘summative’ set of qualitative data has been collected and transcribed, but not yet coded or analyzed.
The request is to review the data (53 individual transcripts from FGDs and KIIs) and develop a coding framework for the second set of data that builds on the previous framework but incorporates changes or new information that might be present. The framework should be reviewed with Liberia MERL staff who were engaged in the data collection, as well as the first round of coding and analysis. Once complete, the consultant will code the data appropriately, identifying patterns and themes and recording memos and quotes. Then the findings will be analyzed and visualized, reviewing and discussing findings with MERL and program staff along the way.
Outputs should include the coding framework, a slide deck featuring key findings from the second set of data (draft, and revised after review with staff), a written analysis comparing the ‘baseline’ dataset and findings with the later set, looking for changes in knowledge, behavior or practices related to use of the malaria vaccine, a ‘project brief’ detailing the program, the study details, and the findings, along with recommendations for future program design and research.
Key Deliverables
The Consultant will work on the deliverables with tentative deadlines:
Write/design a visual, user-friendly ‘project brief’ highlighting program and results (by June 19, 2026)
