About the Position

Rethink Priorities’ Animal Welfare Department is a hub and platform that advances and pioneers evidence-based and reason-driven change for animals. The department seeks to hire a Senior Researcher to help fulfill our mission of accelerating the end of factory farming and reducing the suffering of animals living in the wild. The Senior Researcher would play a leading role in each of our core programs:

Research: We accelerate the development of evidence-based findings and insights for those working towards a better future for animals.

Stakeholder engagement: We build meaningful connections to support better-informed decision-making of advocates, charitable organizations, and others improving animal welfare worldwide.

Infrastructure development: We experiment and scale up novel approaches to help the most neglected animals and strengthen the capacity of the animal welfare movement.

• The types of tasks involved in the role: Within the first year, you are likely to do most of the following at least once:
  • Conduct a literature review to get a better sense of the scale of an issue negatively affecting animals
  • Model the cost-effectiveness analysis on an intervention to reduce animal suffering
  • Identify and interview experts to address questions that cannot be easily answered by consulting academic or grey literature.
  • Deliver an oral presentation on your recent work at a conference, and network with other attendees.
  • Help organize a coordination event to help the animal movement prioritize which issues to tackle next.
• What sorts of topics you would work on: Check out the executive summaries of our reports on investments into insect farming, institutional meat reduction campaigns, and labeling restrictions for alternative proteins to get a sense of the types of questions you would investigate. Many of our projects are self-generated, based on ideas that we believe deserve more attention, while others are requested directly from mission-aligned philanthropic or advocacy organizations.
• What makes this a "Senior" role:
  • The level of autonomy: You have the experience to execute projects with minimal oversight. While you have many colleagues you can consult, you will take the initiative to learn how to do tasks you have not done before.
  • The opportunity to provide strategic input: Department leadership will often consult you on decisions of strategic importance, such as which projects to work on.
  • Your demonstrated ability to tailoring outputs to decision-makers: You have conducted research that is aimed at influencing stakeholders other than your peers. As part of that experience, you have elicited the needs of your main audience early on during projects, and have adjusted the presentation to ensure that the key insights are easy for them to find and understand.

The successful candidate will report directly to Senior Research Manager William McAuliffe and collaborate with the entire Animal Welfare department.

Key Responsibilities

As a Senior Researcher, you will play a key role in designing, conducting, and communicating high-quality research that informs and guides animal welfare leaders, organizations, policymakers, and charitable foundations in developing strategies to improve animal welfare.

In line with this overarching mission, your main responsibilities will include:

• Engaging with external stakeholders to identify how to create deliverables to their preferred specifications.
• Building Fermi estimates and forecasts, explicitly incorporating uncertainty.
• Drafting well-written reports from inception to delivery, with minimal oversight.
• Ensuring that projects remain on track, and proactively identify mitigation measures when barriers arise.
• Assessing how sociopolitical and economic developments may pose threats or opportunities for animals

What We Are Looking For

Skills and Competencies

Required

• An abiding commitment to the mission of Rethink Priorities' Animal Welfare Department
• Ability and willingness to learn how to use and interpret a wide variety of methods, including quantitative concepts and models.

• Resourcefulness to identify tractable ways to address open-ended questions
• A steadfast commitment to truthseeking and principles of research ethics

Nice to have

• Proficiency with R or Python
• Skill in using strategic decision-making tools (e.g., SWOT analysis, PEST analysis, stakeholder mapping, etc.)

Knowledge and Experience

Required

• 5+ years conducting relevant research
  • Many topics count as "relevant," including (a) animal welfare science, (b) evaluating or informing government policy, (c) consulting to inform decisions in an industry, or (d) regular use of quantitative models.
  • If your research during a master's or PhD program was relevant, it counts towards this requirement.
• At least one past role where a key responsibility involved liaising with external stakeholders to ensure that your research outputs are tailored to their needs.
• Comfort with using consequentialist moral frameworks and assessing opportunities in terms of their marginal cost-effectiveness.

Nice to have

• Experience working in or volunteering for the animal advocacy movement
• Knowledge about politicians, parties, and policies in a jurisdiction that produces or consumes a large number of animals.
• Knowledge of methods for assessing sentience and welfare in nonhuman animals.

About Us

Foundation for Economic Development (FED) is a Delhi-based non-profit organisation that aims to bring about a sustained and broad-based economic growth of over 10% in India.

The evidence clearly shows that economic growth is the best tool to lift people out of poverty and improve the quality of life for everyone. Until 1991, Indias poverty rate remained unchanged at ~50%. Post reforms, poverty reduced from ~50% to ~20% with 35 crore (350 million) fewer people living in abject poverty. Since 2010, sustaining fast growth has been challenging as the easy gains have been realised. It is critical for India to maintain a growth rate of over 10% for long periods of time if we want Indian's quality of life to improve rapidly and sustainably.

FED will identify select sectors of the economy which have the highest potential for generating incremental growth and jobs and then work with policymakers to make it happen. The organisation has Dr Aravind Panagariya, Naushad Forbes, Gurcharan Das, Jerry Rao and Ashish Dhawan on its advisory board who are helping shape the thinking and execution.

Our Work

FED has identified Export Led Labour Intensive Manufacturing and Tourism as the highest opportunity sectors for generating incremental growth through aggressive reforms over the next few years.

We are seeking an experienced Project Lead - Knowledge to spearhead our research initiatives and create impactful thought papers and knowledge products. The role involves conducting rigorous research, developing reports, publishing papers and presenting insights that will establish FED's perspective across various stakeholders including government bodies, private sector leaders, and policymakers. Some of the current focus areas for potential reform include Manufacturing Clusters, Indian Export performance, Tariffs, Pollution control norms, EODB reforms etc. This position is crucial for our mission to create public goods that inform and shape economic reforms.

• Conduct in-depth analysis and develop high-quality reports and presentations.
• Design and execute research projects that align with FED's strategic goals in identified focus reform areas and high-opportunity sectors such as Export Led Labour Intensive Manufacturing and Tourism

The Elizabeth Scurlock University Professor in Human Values: Endowed Chair of Ethics in Artificial Intelligence (Scurlock Chair), one of SMU’s two endowed university-level professorships, reports directly to the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and represents our commitment to bringing an ethical and humanistic analysis to bear on the future of AI. We see this chair as an opportunity to expand our impact across both the artificial intelligence and ethics domains, and to bring to campus a world-renowned scholar who will contribute to, and expand upon, the robust work that is already taking place on campus in ways that benefit faculty, staff, students and the broader community.

In governance, the issues may include maintaining transparency in decision making, data and privacy concerns, responsible innovation, and equity and access concerns. In applied ethics, the practical implementation of AI might include governance standards, policy oversight and ethical guidelines for AI deployment. We welcome applications from any recognized area of study.

• Vision for preserving human agency in an increasingly automated world

• Commitment to equity and inclusion in technological advancement

• Capability and proven history of contributing to current discourse as a public intellectual who brings issues in ethics and AI into contact with concerns of everyday life

• Passion for nurturing human creativity and critical thinking alongside AI literacy

• Desire to teach AI-related ethics courses in the graduate/undergraduate curriculum

• Experience in curriculum development that integrates AI literacy with critical thinking and creativity

• Ability to translate complex technological concepts to diverse audiences

Our Commitment

• We offer a vibrant intellectual environment where innovation meets reflection, and where technological advancement is guided by human values. Our university is committed to creating a future where AI serves as a tool for human flourishing.

• SMU values cross-disciplinary collaboration. Whether working with our innovative Pegasus Park project, The O’Donnell Data Science and Research Computing Institute, The Cary M. Maguire Center for Ethics and Public Responsibility, the Dedman College Interdisciplinary Institute, or the numerous initiatives of our eight degree-granting schools, opportunities for collaboration and impact are substantial.

• This position offers competitive salary and benefits, research support, and the opportunity to shape the future of human-centered AI development.

SMU has a long commitment to ethics. Two university professorships were established in the mid-1980s, the Scurlock Chair and the Maguire Chair in Ethics. In 1995, The Maguire Center for Ethics and Public Responsibility was founded as a university-wide initiative for the interdisciplinary exploration of contemporary ethical questions.

Major grant-funded research utilizing AI by SMU faculty and students include:

• SMU is part of a six-institution NSF AI Institute (AI-ENGAGE), which is focused on narrative centered learning environments and has emphasized ethics and AI.

• Researchers in SMU’s Simmons School of Education and Human Development (SEHD) are collaborating with SMU’s Guildhall to build AI into their XPRIZE-winning adult literacy app to create an adaptive learning experience.

• Researchers in SEHD are collaborating with Kings College, U. of North Carolina and University of Zambia to add AI to their virtual reality surgery simulation to provide a real-time feedback experience to trainees.

• Supported by an $18 million DoD contract and NASA grants totaling more than $2 million, Earth Science’s faculty in Dedman College lead a consortium of universities working to integrate AI into the detection and interpretation of subtle seismic and acoustic signals relevant to national defense, and in the interpretation of satellite data.

• SMU physicists, who have played an important role in the discovery of the Higgs particle, are utilizing AI to reduce model dependence of discovery, and are working to put deep learning on a chip for hardware deployment at CERN.

• Researchers in SMU’s Lyle School of Engineering are exploring a range of areas including the integrity of the nation’s infrastructure, traffic management, on-line information credibility, discrimination of external threats from malfunctions in cyber anomalies, and collaborative machine/human problem solving.

• Scholars in communication and business are working with corporate and nonprofit boards to consider their expanding responsibilities as AI begins to impact organizational operations.

• Scholars in the arts are investigating a wide variety of applications including AI-assisted digital art creations, AI-assisted music production and mixing, and motion capture analysis for dance optimization.

• Legal scholars are analyzing areas such as risk management, regulatory compliance, outcome due diligence automation, and automatized contract reviewing and drafting.

This is an opportunity to work on an exciting new project.

The Research Assistant will support the Project Leader Federico Rossi and his collaborators in the successful execution of the project “Human Capital, the Organization of Production and Economic Development”, funded by an ERC/UKRI Starting Grant 2023. The project will leverage micro-level data from multiple countries and novel theoretical frameworks to shed light on how the accumulation and utilization of different types of skills is shaped by and can facilitate the adaptation to some of the most pressing challenges faced by the global economy: population ageing, climate change, and the reallocation of workers across economic activities.

The position is particularly suitable for someone interested in pursuing a PhD in Economics or related fields. Pre-doctoral Research Assistants previously working on this project have been admitted to prestigious PhD programs at New York University and Imperial College London..

The post is initially for 1 year in the first instance, with the possibility to renew it for a second year.

We require an individual who has an interest in the research area, who is pro-active and willing to work as part of a team.

The work will involve collecting and harmonizing micro-level data from countries at different levels of development to construct novel facts on the accumulation and utilization of human skills in a variety of contexts. The Research Assistant will also collaborate to the development and estimation of theoretical models that will be used to assess the impacts of several educational and training policies on economic development. The job will involve close collaboration and frequent interactions with the Project Leader and his collaborators.

The Department of Economics has become widely regarded as one of the top economics department in the UK and Europe. We consistently rank highly in leading UK and international subject league tables and are currently ranked 1st in the Good University Guide 2024.
