Armauer Hansen Institute Vacancies
Established in 1970 through the collaboration of Norwegian and Swedish Save the Children organizations, with support from the Ethiopian Ministry of Health, the Armauer Hansen Research Institute (AHRI) derives its name from Gerhard Henrik Armauer Hansen, the Norwegian physician credited with first describing the leprosy bacillus (Mycobacterium leprae).
AHRI underwent reorganization under Council of Minister’s Regulation No. 376/2016, transitioning into a biomedical research entity, specializing in clinical trials and research capacity building under the Federal Ministry of Health. With a legacy of 50 years, AHRI is renowned for its role as a focal point for knowledge and technology transfer, fostering partnerships and research initiatives aimed at driving societal development in Ethiopia and beyond.
