Job Description

Senior Malaria Researcher

GiveWell

• You will be joining a small grantmaking team to contribute to our ambitious research agenda on malaria. • You’ll sift through the countless questions we could try to answer, and honing in on those that matter most. • You’ll also communicate externally about your work and mentor and advise other researchers on the team. • You will shape a research agenda that brings rigor and creativity to the thorniest questions the GiveWell malaria team faces. • Your work will combine empirical evidence review and critical synthesis, cost-effectiveness modeling, discussions with subject matter experts, understanding of the broader context, and your own judgment.

Job Requirements

  • A quantitatively oriented advanced degree (e.g., in epidemiology, statistics, economics or related fields)
  • Substantial professional experience in the malaria landscape (broadly defined). This could include experience in epidemiological or health economics modeling, and/or in program implementation or funding.

Benefits

  • Fully funded health, dental, vision, and life insurance (we cover 100% of premiums within the US for you and any dependents)
  • Four weeks of paid time off per year
  • 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave
  • Ergonomic home workstations or coworking space memberships
  • Automatic contribution equal to 5% of your gross salary into your 403(b) retirement plan (for U.S. based staff)
