About us
ODI aims to inspire and inform policy and practice to reduce poverty by locking together high-quality applied research and practical policy advice.
We are looking to appoint at a Research Officer (RO) focused on green growth. Under the supervision of the green growth team lead, the RO will contribute to designing and delivering innovative, high-quality and policy-relevant research, policy advice and public-affairs initiatives.
ODI’s work on climate change and environment spans almost all of the Institute’s programmes, anchored by a core of 30 experts in our Climate and Environment Programme (CEP). We aim to support sustianable development and poverty reduction through high quality research, analysis and debate. Our work on climate change and environment is organised around three themes: Adaptation and Resilience, Climate Finance, and Green Growth.
CEP’s Green Growth team is focused on research that identifies pathways toward natural resource and pollution-efficient economic growth. The Green Growth team’s research agenda currently focuses on (1) implementation of green growth planning and policy, (2) fiscal policy reform and the public sector’s role in enabling climate-compatible private finance, (3) energy access in a low-carbon world, (4) the governance and management of forests and other natural resources and (5) sustainability and cities.
Candidates are encouraged to identify which of the team’s strategic areas they are most interested in, and suitable to, supporting.
