We are hiring for one position, which may be offered at the Research Associate (RA) or Senior Research Associate (Senior RA) level, to support an ongoing research and policy collaboration with the Government of Punjab. This is not a conventional desk-based research assistant position, and the role instead sits at the intersection of research and product development. It will suit candidates who enjoy building and improving systems, working across cross-functional teams, and translating ideas into action, be it in government, international development, or tech-driven environments.
The RA/Senior RA will support a portfolio of high-impact projects, from rigorous randomized evaluation to rapid, data-driven decision support, aimed at transforming governance in Punjab. They will be based in Mohali and work directly with officials to follow up on key actions, troubleshoot operational gaps, and ensure timely progress. The successful candidate is motivated, action-oriented, and able to work independently to get things done in complex institutional environments.
