    In addition to our six workstreams , our NatCen International Academy provides tailored and contextualised training courses on a wide range of research methods and social policy areas.

    We are a dynamic, ambitious and multidisciplinary team with expertise in a wide range of international development and social policy areas including peace, conflict and security, countering violent extremism and terrorism, migration, climate change, health, philanthropy, civic engagement, education, economic growth, gender, humanitarian policy and human rights.

    We have a successful track record in leading projects, large and small, and expertise in complex project and consortium management.

    Our work is global, and we work in partnership with local governments, organizations, universities and research centres to ensure that our research is rooted in the lived social and economic realities of the countries we engage in.

    They will manage and deliver mixed method, survey and/or qualitative research projects to budget and timetable. They will also promote NatCen International as a brand and maintain a visible and substantive presence in external networks.

    We particularly welcome applications from experts in digital societies (technology and Artificial Intelligence) who have an interest or a track record in the three other thematic areas (climate, health and migration).
