Er zijn veel mogelijkheden voor loopbaanontwikkeling binnen RAND, voor samenwerking met de andere groepen binnen de organisatie (we zijn trots op onze multidisciplinaire aanpak) en met RAND-collega’s in het VK, de VS en Australië.   Vanwege een groeiende portefeuille van onderzoeksprojecten met Nederlandse opdrachtgevers heeft RAND Europe onlangs een kantoor in Nederland geopend.

RAND Europe is a not-for-profit policy research organisation. Our mission is to help improve policy- and decision-making through evidence-based research and analysis. We realise our mission by undertaking objective, balanced and relevant research, sharing the insights and information widely, and working in partnership with a range of clients and collaborators.   RAND Europe has offices in Cambridge and Brussels, and employs approximately 140 researchers: just over half of our research staff have doctorates with the balance holding other post-graduate degrees. Our work lies on the continuum between that of universities and consultancies, combining the academic rigour of universities and the professional, task orientated approach of consultancies. In addition to our strong ethos of evidence-based research, RAND Europe is a values-driven organisation, and our experience shows that our most successful researchers closely align their behaviours with our value set.   The Home Affairs and Social Policy Research Group undertakes contract research and analysis in a range of public policy areas: education (including early childhood education and care, school effectiveness); employment and social policy (including skills, employability, migration, gender equality, child and family policy); crime and justice (including responses to offending, international law enforcement cooperation, organised crime and illicit markets). We have an extensive portfolio of work with the EU, national governments, charitable foundations and others. We collaborate widely with like-minded academic and other organisations across Europe and with colleagues based in RAND’s U.S. offices. We employ robust methods and offer multi-disciplinary perspectives.   This is an exciting opportunity to work with a truly multidisciplinary team in one of the world’s most respected public policy research organisations. We are looking for an exceptional candidate at Research Assistant level to grow our team of social policy researchers. As a Research Assistant you will address complex policy questions by conducting research and analysis on behalf of our clients and support the team in submitting proposals and managing and delivering multiple projects in a timely and accurate manner.   We are particularly looking for a researcher with experience in conducting quantitative research and other statistical analysis methods and invite applications from individuals with strong quantitative skills or a background in economics. We welcome interest from individuals with a background in any of the following topics: employment, migration, education, crime and justice.    The role is based in our Cambridge office. However, we are working flexibly as an organisation asking candidates to attend the office two/three times week.
