About the job
CAPE is now recruiting Research Fellows to lead the development and delivery of a portfolio of research, policy advice and public affairs in the area of public finance. Successful candidates will join a growing team of economists and political scientists focusing on major themes in global development, including issues such as fiscal policy; tax policy and resource mobilisation; fiscal incidence of taxation and benefits; extractive-sector revenues and special fiscal institutions; public-expenditure policy and expenditure analysis; public investment; government borrowing, debt and deficit financing; and fiscal decentralisation and inter-governmental fiscal relations.
You will work closely with the Head of CAPE and other Research Fellows to design and implement a strategy and work programme on public-finance issues. This will involve managing and conducting high-quality and innovative research (primarily applied economic analysis using both quantitative and qualitative methods), policy advice and public affairs within the Institute’s overall strategy. You will also support the Head of CAPE more broadly with strategy development, network building, fund-raising, quality assurance and staff management.
