Help us direct $80M — and eventually $3B — in annual donations to the world's most effective charities. We're looking for a Research Associate to join GWWC's research team, stress-testing our evaluations and ensuring our giving recommendations meet the highest standards of quality and integrity.

Giving What We Can is on a mission to make effective and significant giving a cultural norm — working towards a world without extreme poverty, animal suffering, and existential risk. Our goal: 1 million pledgers giving $3B/year to the highest-impact organisations — and this role is crucial to getting there.

Ideal candidate:

• Strong analytical and conceptual thinking — comfortable weighing uncertain, conflicting evidence
• Reaches considered views and communicates reasoning clearly
• Meticulous, strategically prioritises, and cares about epistemic integrity
• And ideally some of the following:
  • Familiarity with effective giving concepts (cost-effectiveness, counterfactuality, impact models)
  • Academic or professional research / evidence synthesis experience
  • M&E or impact assessment background
  • Data skills (SQL, R, Python)
  • Knowledge of GWWC's cause areas (global health, animal welfare, existential risk)
