The Resolution Foundation is looking for a motivated and experienced individual to join our research team to help drive the production of high quality, innovative economic analysis and the development of associated policy recommendations with a specific focus on one of: living standards and distributional analysis; productivity and economic growth; or public finances and public spending. This is an exciting time to join our team as we seek to turn around the stagnant living standards of the last twenty years through influencing both the policies that can boost economic growth, and those that affect families' living standards directly. What does the role involve? Working at the heart of the Foundation's research and policy team and in collaboration with external partners, the post holder will play a key role in delivering specific research and policy projects focused on at least one of the following areas: living standards, productivity and economic growth, or public finances and public spending. For example, this could include informing and influencing public debates on the UK's productivity and living standards performance; undertaking distributional analysis or modelling using tax and benefit microsimulation models; and policy work on key growth levers, including AI and technological change, or on taxes, benefits and public services. Applicants will also contribute to our high-profile work in the run-up to and immediately after fiscal events, produce reactive work in response to emerging public policy debates. There will also be opportunity to get involved in other areas of the Foundation's work, working flexibly as a member of our research team. This is a permanent role based at our Westminster office. Applications for full-time or part-time hours are welcome, with a minimum of three days a week required. What kind of person are we looking for? We are looking for someone with a passion for improving living standards, and an ability to develop innovative policy solutions backed by rigorous research. The successful candidate will be one who fits into our supportive team culture and will collaborate effectively with others, internally and externally. The role would suit an individual with the ability to conduct economic and policy analysis independently at an advanced level. This would be consistent with the skills obtained from significant experience (usually over 5 years) working in public policy or applied research, be that in government, think tanks private sector or academia. Candidates will need strong numeracy skills, the ability to use Excel for data manipulation, and the ability to work with household- and firm-level microdata using appropriate statistical software. We are a topical and rigorous organisation so the ability to produce high-quality work at speed is essential. Candidates should also have the skills to situate research findings in the policy context, the ability to communicate the results to a wide range of stakeholders, and a proven track record for delivering research impact or policy change is also essential.
