The Higher Education Authority (HEA) is expanding the pool and database of Learning Programme Experts (LPEs) who shall be engaged on a short-term basis for the evaluation of learning programmes. In addition, these Experts will be engaged to provide recommendations during the registration of Higher Education Institutions (HEI), learning programmes audits, and institutional audits to ensure compliance to the Higher Education Act, 2013.

Therefore, HEA is seeking for LPEs that understand the assignment of improving the quality, relevance and viability of higher education in Zambia. Further, the Authority wishes to hire experts that understand the complexity of issues in our higher education architecture and whose scholarly convictions or profiles fit and align with HEA’s new transformative mantra, values and ethos.

Thus, HEA invites expression of interest applications from scholars that are luminaries in their fields, genuine professionals that are well published in journals indexed in Scopus, academics of a high stature, experts visible in Google Scholar, and seasoned knowledge workers with a strong H-index.

Applicants must be high-end academics, consummate scholars, accomplished professionals that possess and exude intellectual ferocity, and esteemed individuals that form the cutting-edge and, therefore, command respect in their disciplines.

Applications should clearly state the academic qualifications, fields of study, and corpus of peer reviewed publications that point to an established forte. Academics that provide publications in predatory journals shall be blacklisted.

Experts in the Zambian Academic Diaspora, who would like to volunteer and be engaged on pro bono basis, are encouraged to apply.

HEA is a statutory body established by the Higher Education Act, 2013. The mandate of the Authority is to regulate and monitor standards in Higher Education Institution (HEI) in order to ensure quality services and contribute to the enhancement of human capital and accelerated national development. HEA began its operations in 2015.
