    Default job background
    Full time, Fixed-Term/Contract
    Description

    LSE is committed to building a diverse, equitable and truly inclusive university

    Salary from £40,299 per annum inclusive to £48,456 with potential to progress to £52,095 pa inclusive

    This is a fixed term appointment for 2 years

    The Centre for Economic Performance at LSE is recruiting a Policy Officer to join a team led by Profs. Stephen Machin and Henry Overman. CEP carries out policy-focused research on economic performance, at all levels from individuals up to the overall economy. We offer a dynamic research and policy environment, working with academics who lead their fields.

    The Policy Officer is a new position, giving the successful candidate the opportunity to shape the role as it develops, within the requirements of the job description. They will work with academics across the Centre and support a wide variety of activities designed to bridge the gap between evidence and policy, particularly focussed on the recent Economy 2030 Inquiry. The Inquiry was a joint initiative between CEP and the think tank, the Resolution Foundation. It set out a path to end Britain's relative economic decline through increasing economic growth and reducing inequality. The final report included detailed recommendations for change in a broad range of policy areas. The postholder will be promoting key findings from the Economy 2030 Inquiry to policymakers in local, regional and central government, and building upon this work by applying the cross-cutting principles from the Inquiry – the importance of path-dependency, of balancing trade-offs and of the need for a strategy - to provide ongoing policy-relevant research.

    The successful candidate should have an undergraduate degree in economics or related discipline; a Master's degree in Economics (or equivalent training as part of a PhD programme). A PhD in Economics or other quantitative social science is desirable. They must have experience of undertaking analysis that is research-based and policy-orientated. They must also have experience of communicating to policy audiences in local and central government and of conducting engagement activities such as providing research-based policy advice. They should have the ability to synthesise and summarise research and draw out the relevant findings for a given audience. They must be capable of working independently as well as with internal and external stakeholders. Excellent written and verbal communication skills will be required. They must be able to write and present engaging content tailored for a range of audiences and to communicate technical material in non-technical terms for non-academic audiences.

    The post ideally commences in September 2024.

    CEP is recognised as a global centre of excellence, with ESRC Research Institute status. Visit for further information. For more about the Economy 2030 Inquiry, visit

    We offer an occupational pension scheme, generous annual leave and excellent training and development opportunities.
