About IPA
Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) is a research and policy nonprofit that discovers and promotes effective solutions to global poverty problems. IPA brings together researchers and decision-makers to design, rigorously evaluate, and refine these solutions and their applications, ensuring that the evidence created is used to improve the lives of the world’s poor. In recent decades, trillions of dollars have been spent on programs designed to reduce global poverty, but clear evidence on which programs succeed is rare, and when evidence does exist, decision-makers often do not know about it. IPA exists to bring together leading researchers and these decision-makers to ensure that the evidence we create leads to tangible impact on the world. Since its founding in 2002, IPA has worked with over 600 leading academics to conduct over 900 evaluations in 52 countries. This research has informed hundreds of successful programs that now impact millions of individuals worldwide.
Job Summary: The (Associate) Research Manager will manage a portfolio of two to three research projects, each of which is staffed with a team of 1 to 3 regular staff. These projects include a Process Evaluation of six implementing partner organizations working on out of school children (OOSC) pilot interventions in Uganda and Ethiopia. As part of their supervisory role, the (Associate) Research Manager will work closely with the Uganda country office team to ensure credible and responsible data collection, cleaning, and analysis.
