Research Fellow I/II

The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) seeks a qualified candidate to serve as a Research Fellow I/II in its Markets, Trade and Institutions Unit. The position is based in Africa (Senegal, Kenya, Ethiopia preferred) or Washington, DC, and reports to the Director of the Markets, Trade, and Institutions Unit.

The Research Fellow I/II will conduct research aligned with the Markets, Trade, and Institutions’ research portfolio, with a focus on work on trade in Africa, looking at spatial trade costs, trade and storage policies and the implications of trade corridor investments for agricultural trade opportunities.  The research that the Research Fellow would conduct will utilize a mix of econometric and spatial analysis as well as modelling. The exact mix will depend on the interests of the successful candidate and the evolving work program. The goal of the portfolio is to provide guidance to governments and actors across the continent on how to improve trade efficiency, gain more from regional trade integration and take advantages of corridor infrastructure investments for agricultural trade. The researcher will work on putting together data on trade costs and prices in Africa (utilizing primary and secondary sources as needed), will conduct analysis and policy simulations. The research fellow will engage with governments and other actors in designing and conducing the research.  

We will consider applicants interested in both a full time and part time position.
