The successful applicant will join a multi-disciplinary team and contribute to the IDS's research, teaching, and advisory work. Candidates should have a doctoral qualification in economics, politics, anthropology or other social science related to development studies, and should have accumulated experience in applied gender and development research or development policy work. Masters degree holders with significant (ten years or more) research or operational experience will also be considered. Relevant overseas experience is especially welcomed.
