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?

- 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

- 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 ;
