We’re hiring Researchers to join our grantmaking teams, supporting research that directs hundreds of millions of dollars to the most cost-effective global health and poverty alleviation programs we can identify.
As a Researcher, you will:
Analyze interventions and build cost-effectiveness models to inform funding decisions
Review grant opportunities and assess whether they meet our bar for impact
Tackle thorny research questions—on topics like malaria, water quality, cash transfers, and more—that don’t have clear answers in the published literature
Publish findings and reasoning publicly on our website
Build relationships with academics, implementers, and other funders in global health
We’re looking for detail-oriented, analytically rigorous people who communicate clearly and care deeply about improving global well-being.
Details:
Fully remote (US and international candidates welcome)
$162,400 (NYC/SF Bay Area) | $147,300 (all other US locations) | international rates available
Compensated work trials are part of the application process
Our typical hire has a master’s or PhD in a quantitative field (economics, public health, policy, or similar) with a few years of relevant experience, though we’re open to exceptional candidates who don’t fit that mold exactly.
If you’re motivated by rigor, transparency, and having a direct impact on where money goes in global health, we’d love to see you apply.
