TLcom Research Fellow in African Venture Capital

3 months ago


London, Greater London, United Kingdom SOAS University of London Full time

Job title: TLcom Capital Research Fellow in African Venture Capital

Department: Department of Economics

Contract Type: Fixed Term [Available from 1 July 2024 to 31 October 2025]

Grade: 7

Salary: £ 41,227.29 to £48,481.29 per annum inclusive of London Weighting

Location: Bloomsbury, London, UK

Hours: 35 hours per week / Full time

SOAS University of London is the leading Higher Education institution in Europe specialising in the study of Asia, Africa and the Near and Middle East. SOAS University of London is positioned to play a leading role in reimagining higher education globally, with a new strategic plan in place as the basis for the renewal and revitalisation of the School which commits SOAS to both student responsiveness and research intensity. SOAS is moving towards a new model of international partnerships which is responsive to the transnational character of our global challenges.

About the Department:

The SOAS Economics Department has a mission to address the most urgent issues of our times. Today these include the rampant environmental catastrophe, historic levels of inequality, health, economic and social crises, etc. The Department exercises leadership internationally in political economy, development and heterodox economics, and does so by bringing a unique regional lens to bear on its analysis. Research in the Department proceeds along a set of themes including structural transformation, industrial development and policy; governance and political economy of institutions; money and finance; international financial institutions; labour and informal economies; nutrition, health and development; ecological macroeconomics.

The Centre for Sustainable Structural Transformation (CSST), which is scheduled to be launched in February 2024, is a newly established research centre hosted by the SOAS Economics Department. CSST will conduct path-breaking research in developing countries, especially those in Africa, to inform structural transformation and economic diversification strategies that are environmentally and socially sustainable. CSST will focus on four inter-linked research and policy streams: energy transition, mineral resources, reorganization of the international supply chain, and construction of new infrastructure. CSST will also advance concrete proposals on how private sector firms and governments can coordinate their efforts towards new industrial pathways for sustainable prosperity. As the Centre evolves, new research streams (e.g., mobility solutions, worker training, digital skills, development finance) will be added, depending on other funding opportunities, potential research partnerships, and demands from policymakers and businesses. Professors Ha-Joon Chang and Antonio Andreoni in the SOAS Economics Department will co-direct the CSST.

About the Role

The CSST invites applications for the post of TLcom Capital Research Fellow / Postdoctoral Researcher in African Venture Capital to conduct research on the drivers of value generation in the African Venture Capital Industry. Under the guidance of the Centre co-directors and in collaboration with TLcom Capital, a leading venture capital firm with a significant portfolio in Africa, the candidate is expected to conduct collaborative research focusing on the scope – geographies, sectors, technologies, stages, scale and financing – and main features of venture capital investments in Africa. A specific focus of the research is the analysis of the outcome of these investments and the factors driving this outcome both in terms of business and social value returns, including employment, inclusion, diversification, technological and organisational innovation, and sustainability.

The Research Fellow / Postdoctoral Researcher is expected to have a strong training in relevant disciplines, including economics, finance, business and management, engineering and development studies. The candidate will have a rigorous methodological training in mixed methods and will be able to collect and use different types of evidence to inform research and business relevant analyses. Regional expertise in Africa, experiences in relevant sectors and business research, are beneficial but not necessary.

Under the leadership of the Centre co-directors, and in collaboration with TLcom Capital, the candidate is expected to work within a multi-disciplinary research team involving other research fellows, as well as industry and policy fellows hosted by the Centre. The candidate is expected to contribute to all stages of research, including publication of high-quality and impact academic papers, dissemination activities and stakeholders engagement.

The candidate will have, or be close to completing, a PhD in Economics or relevant disciplines, including Finance, Business and Management, Engineering and Development Studies.
