The role will be based at Oxford, but involve substantial travel for fieldwork, workshops, stakeholder engagement.

Lead all operational and financial aspects of the group, coordinate fieldwork for several large-scale RCTs in East Africa. Build and maintain relationships with implementing partners and governments. Mentor and manage high-quality pre-docs, doctoral students, and post-docs.

Help set up a new research group for macro-experimental development at Oxford. You'd help develop our vision and are excited to bring it to life.

I am looking for an experienced research manager, starting as early as 1 March (with some flexibility)

@GiveWell now estimates that @GiveDirectly's cash transfer program is 3-4 x cash! 😆 More seriously, this is a v impressive piece of work and a welcome update in light of (a) the spillovers evidence from @EggerDennis et al, (b) changes to GD's program
