About this position
Two postdoctoral researchers will join the Evaluation for Inclusion Office, an initiative of the Municipality of Fortaleza in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. The office is supported by the Fund for Innovation in Development (FID) and works in collaboration with the Development Innovation Lab (DIL) at the University of Chicago and the University of Ceará.
The project offers an opportunity to conduct rigorous impact evaluations of public policies within government institutions. Researchers will use controlled and natural experiments to study policy effectiveness and generate evidence relevant to inclusion and public-sector decision-making.
The research environment brings together researchers from Brazil and abroad, with opportunities for academic research, publications, and international collaboration. The positions are suited to researchers working in economics, public policy, applied microeconometrics, causal inference, randomized controlled trials, and natural experiments.
