JOB OPPORTUNITY – FIELD RESEARCHER

ICF is looking for field researchers to help deliver a large, international project for the European Commission on nutrition. This is a paid opportunity.

ICF is a leading provider of studies for the European Commission and its agencies. The study involves collecting information on the composition (ingredients and nutrients) of food products available in supermarkets. This will contribute to national and EU initiatives to improve nutrition in Europe.

About the role

Upon successfully completing this training, you will go to supermarkets that we have gained permission to visit, to take pictures of certain categories of food products. Personal Protection Equipment will be provided. For each product, you will use the app you downloaded to take pictures of food labels. You will also enter some product details manually into the app.

You will then submit your findings through the app to a centralised database.

You will be part of a team of data collectors and you will have a dedicated ICF Team Leader to support you.

You will be paid an hourly rate.
