- Background:
The HEARTH project is a mixed-methods observational study investigating how indoor, outdoor, and personal heat exposure affects the health and wellbeing of postpartum women and newborns in Kilifi County, Kenya. The project is a collaboration between Africa International University and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. The study combines prospective cohort data, routine health facility records, environmental monitoring, and maternal mental health assessments. Data collection is completed. We are now seeking experienced consultant(s) to undertake the quantitative analysis.
2. Purpose of the Consultancy :
The consultant(s) will carry out all quantitative data analysis for selected study objectives and deliver a fully written, standard Methodology and Results section.

However, due to strict timelines, each consultant will be expected to focus on a specific thematic area. Multiple quantitative datasets are available for this consultancy, including cohort-level exposure and outcome data, facility-based health records, environmental monitoring data, and mental health assessments. All datasets, supporting documentation, and the full study protocol will be provided to the successful candidate(s) upon recruitment and after signing confidentiality agreements.
