The International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) is a policy and action research organisation. We promote sustainable development to improve livelihoods and protect the environments on which these livelihoods are built. We specialise in linking local priorities to global challenges. IIED is based in London and works in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and the Pacific, with some of the world’s most vulnerable people. We work with them to strengthen their voice in the decision-making arenas that affect them - from village councils to international conventions.

This role is based in the Human Settlements Group (HSG).  HSG is a ten-person team covering equitable and sustainable development in urban centres in low- and middle-income countries.  Our poverty focus is vital and informs everything we do because people on very low incomes, living in slums or squatter settlements, are the most vulnerable to environmental challenges. Our work has always been developed with partners, ensuring that it is rooted in the concerns of urban residents and practitioners, while contributing significantly to global research and policy debates. The Group’s work focuses on integrated approaches to urban poverty and local environments, with thematic focus areas including urbanisation and rural-urban links; water, sanitation and shelter; food and nutrition; and urban risk and urban crisis response.

We are looking to recruit a highly motivated Principal Researcher to lead on new and emerging programmes of work. S/he will develop a programme of work that builds on the group’s reputation and strengths, complementing the work of other members of the group and establishing a team around his/her area of expertise. The Principal Researcher should have substantial experience of building teams and providing mentorship to colleagues at different career stages. The postholder will also be expected to identify appropriate linkages and synergies for creating a compelling public narrative and raising the profile of interventions to catalyse inclusive and sustainable urban transformations that work for all residents.

This is a great opportunity for candidates with wide-ranging research experience, along with proven people management skills and extensive project management experience.  The perfect candidate will be comfortable working with large, complex budgets and work programmes

We may also recruit a second person at senior researcher level. The Senior Researcher will identify innovative research themes related to the group / team’s core interests, and work with colleagues to design, develop and coordinate large projects or small research programmes combining multiple independent projects.

Particular areas of focus for principal and senior researchers  might include low-carbon and climate resilient urban development pathways; urban health (particularly the social determinants of health for low income urban households and informal settlements); urban land management and development, urbanisation and global environmental challenges (including pollution, conservation and biodiversity)

To succeed in the principal researcher or senior researcher role, you must have a postgraduate degree in a relevant discipline or a PhD in a relevant subject along with excellent strategic and management skills. Your knowledge base includes in-depth understanding of the processes of inclusive urban development with an emphasis on the Global South.  You have high quality problem-solving skills and are well-networked with extensive experience of coordinating and sustaining diverse teams or collaborative networks. You will be as comfortable working with international institutes, policy‑makers and civil society organisations as you will with internal contacts. The ideal candidate will be a clear and effective communicator both verbally and in written form and as such will be well versed in producing a range of communications and marketing materials for print and/or digital audiences.

A willingness and ability to travel on occasion and work with a range of different programme partners is also key to this role.

For further information about the requirements of the researcher roles at the principal and senior levels please download the job description.

Please indicate your current salary on your CV. 

If you would like to discuss this opportunity with a member of the team, please contact David Dodman and Lucy Earle.

Deadline for applications:  midnight on Wednesday 8th January 2020.

Interviews will be held on: 3rd OR 4th February 2020.

There may be a 2nd stage interview, however this will be confirmed to candidates after the outcome of the first stage.

Shortlisted candidates will be informed at the latest by close of business on 27th January 2020.  Should you not receive a response by this date then on this occasion you have not been shortlisted.
