The Senior Economic Analyst's key responsibilities will include: designing and leading quantitative economic research projects; working with colleagues across IPPR to provide analytical expertise as they develop their research methodologies; and helping to communicate IPPR's work on the economy via engagement with policymakers and other stakeholders, publication of blogs, and media appearances.
