Research Associate – Public Policy & Governance

Research here goes beyond spreadsheets; it shapes urban policy, informs youth employment programs, and strengthens social protection frameworks. As a Research Associate, you’ll translate questions into rigorous study designs, supervise data collection, and turn messy datasets into clean, actionable insights.

Our client values reproducibility and clarity: code should run, tables should tell a story, and reports should speak to policymakers without losing methodological rigor. You’ll oversee field teams, implement quality checks, and ensure ethical standards guide every interaction with participants.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys both the numbers and the narrative. You’ll co-author policy briefs, prepare presentation-ready visuals, and help make research findings usable for decision-makers who need answers yesterday but won’t compromise on accuracy.

If you thrive on turning evidence into influence, mentoring enumerators, and seeing your analyses drive real-world decisions, this position places you at the heart of urban policy research, with ample room for professional growth and publication opportunities.
