Acting as a thought leader and collaborating with influential local research institutions, you’ll produce and manage multi-country research that strengthens our strategic thinking and helps us make a bigger difference. You’ll be monitoring major trends in the region, building the research skills of our country teams, agreeing research priorities as well as developing research methodology and design on poverty and inequality.

The Requirements

To meet the challenge, you need to be strong and innovative thinker. You’ll have a broad understanding of the major economic, social, humanitarian and poverty issues in the Asia region. Experience of working across the Asia region is a must. It’ll be your minimum of 5 years of research experience of managing research projects and other researchers – especially in collaboration with research organisation – and your ability to produce outstanding written reports that will stand you in good stead in supporting our programmes across the region. Fluency in written and spoken English is essential.

About Oxfam

A simple, inescapable truth underlines everything we do at Oxfam. There’s enough wealth in this world to go around. It’s not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It’s unjustifiable. It’s not their problem. It’s ours too. And with the right support, we can beat poverty and injustice. Thousands of people already commit their time and talents to our campaigning, humanitarian and long-term development projects. Now we’re looking for yours.

As an organisation Oxfam is committed to gender equity and putting women’s rights at the heart of all we do.
