Expert Application Advice
What this role involves
You will support IITA’s research on sustainable agriculture in West Africa—collecting field data, managing trials, and analyzing crop or soil samples. Your day-to-day includes coordinating with local farming communities, ensuring lab protocols are followed, and preparing reports for senior scientists. Expect a mix of office planning and hands-on fieldwork across the Greater Accra Region.
Key skills to highlight
Show experience in agronomy, plant science, or environmental data collection. Proficiency in statistical tools (R, SPSS, or GenStat) and familiarity with GIS mapping are strong assets. Also emphasize ability to work independently in rural settings, communicate in local languages (Twi, Ga, or Ewe), and manage multiple trial sites.
Taf4All CV tip
Add a “Field Experience” section listing 2–3 specific trials or surveys you led. For each, state the crop type, sample size, and outcome (e.g., “Coordinated 50-farmer cassava trial; improved yield data accuracy by 20%”). This matches IITA’s hands-on research focus.
Before you apply
IITA never requests payment for applications or interviews. Verify the recruiter’s email ends with @cgiar.org or @iita.org. If asked for bank details or “processing fees,” report it to IITA’s HR immediately.
🎯 Make your application ATS-ready
ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
