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.
