ODI (www.odi.org.uk) aims to inspire and inform policy and practice to reduce poverty by locking together high-quality applied research and practical policy advice.

The Research and Policy in Development (RAPID) programme works to improve the use of research-based evidence and local knowledge in policy-making. This leads to better decision-making and better policies that can help transform lives. We do this by working with all actors to develop capacity for both policy influence and evidence-informed policy-making

We are seeking to appoint a Senior Research Officer to join ODI’s Research and Policy in Development Programme. Under the supervision of Research Fellows, the post holder will contribute to designing and delivering innovative, high-quality and policy-relevant research, policy advice and public-affairs initiatives. You will contribute to policy research and advisory projects, engage with policymakers in research and advisory processes, and disseminate results. RAPID is doing an increasing amount of work in China, and is specifically seeking a Senior Research Officer with fluent written and spoken Mandarin and practical experience of working with Chinese government agencies.
