Be a catalyst for new ideas

Policy Researcher on international economic justice in Oxford, UK.

Salary Â£29,880 - Â£37,770

Be incisive. Be thoughtful. And you can change the way decision makers and the public understand development.

Generating ideas with like-minded colleagues, you will lead core areas of research on the economics and political economy of development, and on making states and markets work for the poor.

You will be part of Oxfam's high-performing research team. You will conduct and commission research, both quantitative and qualitative, sometimes working with staff on the ground in developing countries. You will communicate your findings by writing high-impact briefing papers, campaign reports and occasional media op-eds.

You are excited by ideas and development debates, and want to get to the bottom of complex policy issues. You will need at least a Masters level degree in economics or social science (including a strong economics component) proven ability in writing for an economic policy audience and an ability to present complex arguments in a clear, accessible style. You will have good understanding of development issues with a strong gender perspective, and specialist knowledge in the field of trade, investment, market reform, social policy, aid, and/or poverty reduction.
