Your decisions will inform the allocation of hundreds of millions of dollars to dozens of grantees.<\/p>\r\n<p>Your practical work will combine empirical evidence review, cost-effectiveness modeling, discussions with subject matter experts, and developing your own judgment. In the course of your work, you might approach questions like these:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.givewell.org\/2022\/04\/06\/water-quality-overview\/\">What should we believe about the impacts of improved water quality on all-cause mortality?<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.givewell.org\/international\/technical\/programs\/bridges-to-prosperity\">What is the impact of building footbridges in rural communities?<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.givewell.org\/research\/grants\/UC-Berkeley-cash-transfers-follow-up-July-2022\">How can we model the general equilibrium effects of cash transfers?<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.givewell.org\/how-we-work\/our-criteria\/cost-effectiveness\/moral-weights\">How should we prioritize programs that reduce poverty relative to programs that reduce deaths?<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.givewell.org\/2018\/02\/13\/revisiting-leverage\/\">How should we think about the opportunity cost of other actors\u2019 contributions to programs we fund?<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.givewell.org\/how-we-work\/our-criteria\/cost-effectiveness\/uncertainty-optimizers-curse\">How should we account for high levels of uncertainty in our cost-effectiveness estimates?<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.givewell.org\/international\/technical\/programs\/vitamin-A#What_impact_do_VAS_campaigns_have\">How do we use effects from trials conducted 30 to 40 years ago to predict impacts today?<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Responsibilities include:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Analyzing interventions<\/strong> (e.g., vaccine demand generation, vitamin A supplementation, seasonal malaria chemoprevention) at various levels of depth to refine our view about the cost-effectiveness of a particular intervention and recommend either deprioritization or further work. Researchers review existing empirical evidence about intervention impacts, build models, speak with subject matter experts about particular interventions, and use their judgment to come up with a bottom line. Examples of this work are available on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.givewell.org\/research\/intervention-reports\">intervention reports page<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Building cost-effectiveness models<\/strong> to estimate the costs and benefits of a particular intervention. These models take into account a wide variety of considerations, including: one's prior estimate for an intervention's impact, the strength of the evidence, the size of the effects, the similarity between the context in which an intervention was studied and will be implemented, negative and\/or offsetting effects, and how funding this intervention would affect decisions by other actors (e.g., local government, donor governments). See more on our page about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.givewell.org\/how-we-work\/our-criteria\/cost-effectiveness\/cost-effectiveness-models\">our cost-effectiveness models<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Reviewing specific grantmaking opportunities.<\/strong> We receive and solicit requests for funding on an ongoing basis. Researchers investigate each of these opportunities to determine whether or not they should receive funding. Reviewers discuss each grant opportunity with the applying organization, consider its plans and assess the likelihood it will achieve them, estimate the cost-effectiveness of a grant and forecast its likelihood of success. When necessary, they solicit feedback from outside experts (e.g., academics, government officials) about the opportunity.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Tackle thorny research questions with creative approaches.<\/strong> We often need to answer questions that don\u2019t have clear answers in published academic journals or other data sources (see some examples above), but which nevertheless matter significantly to our bottom-line funding decisions. You\u2019ll come up with creative approaches to answer these questions, and your work will often influence the funding decisions of many of GiveWell\u2019s research subteams.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Building relationships with experts relevant to our work,<\/strong> for example, academics who specialize in interventions we are reviewing (e.g., malaria, malnutrition treatment, in-line water chlorination), leaders and program staff at organizations we are considering for funding, and program staff at foundations who are also evaluating where to allocate funds.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Publishing reports and blog posts on our website.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.givewell.org\/how-we-work\/transparency\">Transparency is a core value of ours<\/a> and we aim to publish as much supporting information regarding our conclusions as we can. Researchers write up our findings and reasoning for publication on our website or summarize key points from their work in <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.givewell.org\/\">blog posts<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>What is career development like?<\/h3>\r\n<p>After gaining experience on the team, Senior Research Associates have the opportunity to develop into <a href=\"https:\/\/job-boards.greenhouse.io\/givewell\/jobs\/4253692008\">Senior Researchers<\/a>, who lead the development of our research agendas. Senior Researchers may then pursue a few pathways for career development based on their preferences and GiveWell\u2019s needs. Some choose to develop wider and more autonomous research agendas as individual contributors, while others take on people management responsibilities. Another potential pathway is to transition into a Program Officer position, in which you\u2019d own a high-impact, cost-effective grantmaking portfolios by deepening your expertise, growing your networks, and understanding the broader context within a specific grantmaking area. Program Officers think through questions like:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>How should we balance exploring and seeding new, smaller opportunities with funding cost-effective opportunities at scale today?<\/li>\r\n<li>How can we triangulate empirical evidence against expert opinion on other qualitative features, like organizational track record?<\/li>\r\n<li>What is research we can fund today that could substantially impact our grantmaking five years from now?<\/li>\r\n<li>How much uncertainty are we willing to accept before making a grant? What key research questions do we need to answer before making a grant, and which ones can we deprioritize or answer later?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Team structure<\/h3>\r\n<p>Our research department has over 50 people, and is currently organized into eight teams:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Five of the teams (Water, Livelihoods, Nutrition, Malaria, and Vaccines) focus on specific areas of grantmaking.<\/li>\r\n<li>The New Areas team focuses on interventions in domains that are new to GiveWell.<\/li>\r\n<li>The Cross-Cutting team focuses on methodological issues, research quality, and other big-picture concerns that cut across all of our research work.<\/li>\r\n<li>The Commons team provides generalized research support to each of the other teams, including landscaping research, vetting, and publishing.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>In most cases, we hire Senior Research Associates without knowing which subteam they\u2019ll eventually sit on. We aim to expose new researchers to different types of work and parts of the team over several months to inform their eventual subteam placement. (We might settle on a subteam more quickly if new hires bring specific, specialized expertise.)<\/p>\r\n<h3>Team values<\/h3>\r\n<p>We think our research team has unique qualities:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>We care deeply and centrally about finding and sharing truth.<\/strong> Truth-seeking is one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.givewell.org\/about\/values\">core values<\/a>. We post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.givewell.org\/about\/our-mistakes\">our mistakes<\/a> and we prize our team members who keep our culture of free-flowing feedback strong.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>We are independent.<\/strong> We focus 100% on finding the most cost-effective opportunities to save and improve lives. Our researchers assist in communicating our research findings to the public and our donors, and on occasion we provide tailored advice to ultra-high-net-worth donors who want to rely on our expertise to direct their giving\u2014but we never ask our researchers to trade off against honesty, or to hide their real beliefs.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>We don\u2019t waste time.<\/strong> Once it\u2019s clear that a particular research question is unlikely to change our bottom-line funding recommendation, we drop it as quickly as possible. We encourage our research staff to constantly re-evaluate their portfolios and only work on the highest-priority questions.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Lean research team = huge personal impact.<\/strong> Our research team of just over 50 people directs hundreds of millions of dollars annually.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>We work well together.<\/strong> Our research team is lean because we\u2019re able to attract top-tier people, all of whom complete skills-based assessments before joining our staff. We maintain a high-performing, collegial culture and pay our staff accordingly.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>About you<\/h2>\r\n<p>You should be graduating with a doctoral degree in a quantitative field like economics, mathematics, or statistics.
