These are permanent positions with a remit to help shape, carry out, and communicate empirical research. The IFS promotes from within, and successful candidates would have scope for promotion and to develop a long-term career at IFS. Applicants would join at the top of the pay-scale for IFS Research Economists with the expectation of quick promotion to the position of Senior Research Economist (subject to performance), for which the salary range is currently £73,400 to £90,900. There will be considerable scope for successful candidates to shape future research ideas and to work on new initiatives to communicate our work and shape policy debates.

Warwick Business School (WBS) is a place where big ideas meet real impact. We’re part of a world-class university, but we’re more than just our reputation. For nearly 60 years, we’ve been helping people turn ambition into action, equipping them to make a real difference in the world.

About Us
We were the first UK business school to achieve triple accreditation (EQUIS, AMBA, AACSB), and our programmes consistently rank among the best - view all of our rankings here.

But what really sets us apart is how it feels to be here. We’re down to earth, collaborative, and proud to create a place where staff, students and alumni feel at home. We want your time here to be as inspiring as it is rewarding, with the support, trust, and opportunities you need to grow both professionally and personally.

Our Vision
The world needs smart ideas, and the leaders who can bring them to life. Those ideas only matter if they can be put into practice. Our vision is simple: to shape the people and ideas that will define what comes next and ensure they have everything they need to make it happen.

Everything we do is underpinned by our CORE values and fuelled by a Change Maker mindset. We look for this shared commitment in everyone who joins our community. We nurture that mindset every day by creating a workplace where curiosity is encouraged, ideas are shared openly, and everyone has the chance to turn bold thinking into meaningful action.

Change Makers

• See the bigger picture. They think beyond themselves, seek out different perspectives, and consider the ripple effect of their actions.
• Challenge the norm. They question the status quo and look for better ways to make a difference.
• Have the drive to deliver. They don’t just imagine change; they put in the work to make it happen.

Our CORE Values

• Curiosity. We challenge, explore, and create to build a better future.
• Openness. We welcome ideas, feedback, and change to keep moving forward.
• Restlessness. We’re never content to stand still; we keep striving for more.
• Excellence. We hold ourselves to the highest standards in everything we do.

IFS is Europe’s leading centre for microeconomic research and is an authoritative, independent commentator on a wide range of policy issues, aiming to bridge the gap between academia and the wider public.

The Director is Helen Miller and the Research Director is Imran Rasul. Research at IFS is led by a large number of Co-Directors including James Banks, Richard Blundell, Aureo de Paula, Eric French, Francois Gerard, Rachel Griffth, Attila Lindner, and Fabien Postel-Vinay.

We are seeking to appoint an exceptional economist to join our Healthcare research programme.

The successful candidate should have an excellent academic background, a track-record of producing high-quality economic research and experience of and/or commitment to working on the UK context. First rate communication skills and a capacity and willingness to manage and develop junior colleagues are essential. Experience of achieving policy impact through research or of successfully bidding for external funding would be an additional asset.

The successful candidate will build a research agenda focused on the economics of health and healthcare systems, the interaction between health and socioeconomic outcomes, and the use of UK administrative or survey data to evaluate policy.

In addition, they will be expected to engage in mentorship and development of more junior researchers, often including formal line management responsibilities, and to contribute to the wider intellectual life and running of the institute. They will work within a team of researchers whose direction of research fits with the researcher’s expertise and interests. This will likely include a mix of senior academics and IFS research staff.

This is a permanent position with a remit to help shape, carry out, and communicate empirical research. The IFS promotes from within, and the successful candidate will have scope for promotion and to develop a long-term career at IFS. The appointment will be made at the top of the pay-scale for IFS Research Economists, with the expectation of quick promotion to the position of Senior Research Economist (subject to performance), for which the salary range is currently £73,400 to £90,900. There will be considerable scope for the successful candidate to shape future research ideas and to work on new initiatives to communicate our work and shape policy debates.

We welcome applications from individuals who have completed their PhD or students expecting to complete a PhD in 2026.

Applications should be submitted via EconJobMarket. We aim to interview shortlisted candidates at the European Job Market, which will be held virtually in December 15-18, 2025. Subsequent fly-outs will be arranged in January 2026 for short-listed candidates.

If you have any queries, please email jobs@ifs.org.uk.
