Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) seeks to appoint a Postdoctoral Fellow to develop and conduct research and fieldwork as part of its Peace and Recovery (P&R) sector program.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will be expected to work with IPA country offices in order to develop their own research projects (either by themselves or in partnership with other Principal Investigators). The successful candidate will work closely with the P&R academic leads, Chris Blattman at the University of Chicago and Betsy Levy-Paluck at Princeton University, or other researchers depending on the specific topics of interest of the selected candidate, as well as the IPA community of researchers and research and policy staff. The Postdoctoral Fellowship is designed to pave the way for future careers in academic or public-sector roles. The location of the candidate can be jointly determined during the hiring process.

This is designed as a nine month fellowship. We hope to attract the very best candidates who are interested in academic positions. If you have an offer from such an academic institution, and are interested in this Postdoctoral Fellowship in order to build your research pipeline, we would be happy to support discussions with your home institution.
