  • Provide technical support and advice to policy colleagues on research and evaluation methods, including advising on the relative robustness of competing sources of evidence and the interpretation of findings.
  • Helping to shape the team's programme of social research work and helping to embed evaluation activities, as well collaborating with other researchers and analysts within your policy area and across the DfT.
