The incumbent will provide leadership in sharing research and analysis methods and helping teams and Asia USAID missions in Asia to develop hypotheses and tests to result in more science-based decision making. To achieve these objectives, the incumbent must not only develop an extensive network of contacts among USAID missions, but also must develop extensive contacts in the private sector and the science and technology communities.
