The Open University, a tech-driven open-distance learning institution, has established three research centres in Northern Nigeria and is seeking highly qualified researchers to lead and manage these centres. The centres are located in Kano, Sokoto, and Zamfara States, and focus on agriculture and mineral value research, industrial renewal, and public health.

The University's Directorate of Research, Innovation, and The Impossible (DRII) is responsible for spearheading this initiative, which aims to bridge the gap between academic research and practical socio-economic development. The recruitment drive will see the University offering positions such as Research Coordinator, Research Associate, and Research Assistant, each with a competitive monthly remuneration and various responsibilities.

The successful applicants must have relevant qualifications, possess a strong research track record, and demonstrate a deep understanding of the centre's mandate. Applications close on August 23, 2026, and must be submitted through the designated web form.
