UNICEF Remote Research Consultant 2026 (USD 8,000 – 14,000/Month)
As we move through 2026, UNICEF has consolidated its research and data divisions into the new Office of Strategy and Evidence (OSE) – Innocenti. This structural shift has created a high demand for elite Remote Research Consultants capable of turning complex global data into actionable policies for children. These are not entry-level roles; they are high-impact consultancies designed for experts who can lead mixed-methods research, foresight analysis, and implementation evaluations from anywhere in the world.
The compensation for these senior-level consultancies typically ranges from $8,000 to $14,000 per month, depending on the complexity of the assignment and the consultant's proven track record (equivalent to UN Level C or D seniorities). In 2026, UNICEF is specifically looking for specialists who can bridge the gap between "Big Data" and human rights, ensuring that every child—regardless of their location—is counted and protected by evidence-based interventions.
