Deadline: 21 February 2016
Location: Oxford, UK
Organization: Oxfam
Oxfam's Campaigns, Policy, and Influencing Team aims to
strengthen the power of people to influence people with power. In order to have
the greatest impact, we need robust evidence about gender (in)justices and
positive alternatives. And we need you to make it happen.
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 just 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.
The Role
You will be based in Oxfam’s Research Team and will provide
solid intellectual thinking and analysis on gender inequality and feminist
economics. You will help implement Oxfam’s strategic goal of advancing gender
justice and women’s rights by increasing its capacity to deliver gender-focused
research and mainstream a critical gender perspective in all research. You will
strengthen Oxfam’s contribution to the evidence base of economic indicators
from a feminist economics’ perspective, including the unpaid economy and care
work. You will draw on information collected in the course of Oxfam’s
development programming and external sources to advance our understanding of
gender justice, and effectively communicate findings to colleagues in
campaigning, programming and communications.
What we're Looking For
You will bring a strong background of working on women’s
empowerment and economics in international development. You will be technically
competent in economic analysis and the use of quantitative data to question
gender inequalities for advocacy and programming. And you will be keen to take
a central role in advancing the work on gender justice and the economics and
political economy of development within Oxfam’s overall research. We'll expect
you to be a clear and strategic researcher and writer, able to make complex
technical information accessible and usable by non-specialists. You'll need to
be able to work in English and French/Spanish, and share our passion for and
commitment to eradicating poverty.
