Quantify Research Lab
The research lab of Analytics for Africa.
We run economic, management and social research for the organisations shaping the continent, and we build the next generation of African researchers through our fellowship.
What the lab does
Our work
Some questions need a study, not a dashboard. The lab designs and runs that research, and trains the researchers who do it.
Rigorous studies for governments, development partners, businesses and foundations who need to understand a market, a policy or a population before they act.
A roster of early-career researchers and data scientists who want to do serious work on African questions. When a project needs their skills, we bring them onto it alongside experienced researchers.
The fellowship
Africa needs more people who can ask a good question, find the data to answer it, and defend the answer. The fellowship is where we train them, by doing the work together.
It works as a roster, not a fixed cohort. You apply once. If you're accepted, you join the roster, and we call on fellows from it as projects come in that match what they know.
Early-career researchers and data scientists: recent graduates, postgraduate students, and people a few years into research or data roles.
Apply with your background and interests. We review each application, and accepted fellows join the roster. Being on it doesn't guarantee a project; it means you're considered whenever one fits.
Join lab projects in economic, management and social research, from framing the question and working with the data to writing up what it shows.
Fellowship application
This application is for a place on the roster, not for a specific project. Tell us what you know and what you'd like to work on, and we'll be in touch about your application.
