Research Assistant (Part-time) Cover Letter Examples Kenya

I am writing to express my interest in the Research Assistant (Part-time) position at Hellen Okoth Owiti. With over two years of part-time experience in research coordination and data management within Kenyan public health contexts, I am confident in my ability to contribute effectively to your team. At Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI), I demonstrated strong field research capabilities by collecting and analyzing health data from 200+ households across three coastal counties, while maintaining a 95% accuracy rate in qualitative interview transcription. My prior internship at APHRC further honed my skills in large-scale survey administration, where I conducted 150+ structured surveys in informal settlements while maintaining 98% data integrity through meticulous verification processes. My bilingual proficiency in Swahili/English and REDCap expertise have consistently enhanced community engagement and data collection efficiency. I am particularly drawn to this opportunity as my experience coordinating field logistics for five research teams (reducing travel delays by 30% at KEMRI) aligns with the operational demands of field-based research. My technical proficiency in STATA, SPSS, and ethical compliance frameworks positions me to deliver immediate value to your research initiatives.
