About Armauer Hansen Research Institute
The Armauer Hansen Research Institute (AHRI) was founded in 1970 through the initiative of the Norwegian and Swedish Save the Children organizations, seconded by the Ministry of Health of Ethiopia. Named after Gerhard Henrik Armauer Hansen, the Norwegian physician who first described the leprosy bacillus (Mycobacterium leprae), AHRI was reorganized under Council of Ministers Regulation No. 376/2016 as a specialized biomedical research, clinical trial, and research capacity-building institution under the Federal Ministry of Health. Over its 50-year history, AHRI has served as a central hub for skill and technology transfer and strategic research partnerships impacting health in Ethiopia and beyond.
AHRI invites qualified, highly motivated, and competent professionals to apply for the following open positions:
