The Institute for Government is inviting applications for a Researcher position (Job Reference: RES2208), to start as soon as notice periods allow.

Researchers are a core part of our research team. They are responsible for supporting the delivery of Institute research projects and are managed by more senior members of the research team. Topics that Researchers might work on could include but are not limited to levelling up, reviewing the constitution, civil service reform or the role of metro mayors.

As a Researcher at the Institute, you will:

• take a fresh, evidence-based look at a range of problems facing government and develop innovative solutions to these by conducting qualitative and quantitative research and analysis, and to lead specific project elements as appropriate.

• build strong working relationships both inside the Institute (including research, communications, partnerships and operations staff) and externally (including MPs and civil servants, government departments and agencies, other organisations in the academic, public and commercial sectors, and public policy commentators including journalists).

• deliver the results of projects, including high-quality written reports and presentations in a suitable format and style for specific targeted audiences, to challenging deadlines, and discuss project findings in the media including TV and radio.

• work with our events team to organise public events, seminars and meetings, and present project findings and recommendations in these forums.

• assist in the development and delivery of tailored workshops and toolkits to aid senior decision makers in government.

• work closely with other Institute staff to maximise the impact of our insights on government decisions.
