We are looking for a quantitative researcher to join our team. In our work, we try to understand and address challenges like:

  • What could French NGOs do to do the most good?
  • How can we best address global warming through our donations?
  • Which NGOs implement the best strategies to reduce animal farm suffering?

Becoming a Research Program Manager means you will be involved in things like:

  • Playing a fundamental role in Don Efficace’s development work, focusing mainly on quantitative research;
  • Lead the definition of the research agenda, keeping in mind that our research ultimately aims to inform philanthropic French donors
  • Work with scientific partners (both international evaluators such as Giving Green and French researchers), a range of stakeholders, students, interns and other members of the team
  • Lead the research, including performing the following and/or supervising students/interns/young researchers to do the following:
  • Conduct literature reviews, quantitative estimations, and expert interviews to identify France’s relative advantages for addressing the world’s most pressing problems ;
  • Conduct literature reviews, quantitative estimations, and expert interviews to potentially effective programs leveraging those relative advantages ;
  • Employ quantitative and qualitative approaches to estimate the likely cost-effectiveness of different programs NGOs are currently running. The most appropriate evaluation technique can vary across projects, including: randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental research designs, pilots, mixed method evaluations and implementation and process evaluations ;
  • Work on several projects in parallel to deliver high standard work while respecting deadlines ;
  • Write scientific articles for peer-reviewed conferences and/or journals (as appropriate to the topic at hand)
  • Engage in outreach (<10%), representing our research to journalists and the public, and reviewing communications to make sure they reflect findings accurately; as well as communicate methods and results with technical and policy audiences.
