**Senior Researcher****:
**Background**:

- The Centre for Disaster Protection works to prevent disasters devastating lives, by helping people, countries, and organisations change how they plan and pay for disasters. We focus on disaster risk financing to help ensure that money and plans are in place before a disaster strikes, so that the poorest and most vulnerable people are better protected. We are committed to work in partnerships across sectors and geographies to drive more impactful and more equitable disaster risk finance that leaves no one behind. Specifically, through a focus on:

- **Delivering excellent client outcomes and promoting lasting disaster risk finance expertise.** We provide clients with impartial and evidence-based advice, quality assurance and training that meets their needs and drives more effective disaster risk finance.
- **Quality evidence and learning.** We work to strengthen the evidence base for prearranged financing and document and share what shows the greatest potential to achieve system change.
- **Impactful communications and global policy engagement.** We seek to engage and influence through evidence-led policy and inclusive policy dialogue that bridges both ‘local to global’ and the humanitarian development climate nexus, targeting the bottlenecks key to effect transformative change of the international crisis financing architecture.

Additionally, we are focused on building effective systems and processes for people and operations that support the Centre to rapidly, yet strategically, scale and grow in a way that supports our people to do their best work through safe challenge, promoting and integrating diversity, equity and inclusion.

**The role**:
The Centre’s Evidence programme spans two principal areas, Effective International Support for DRF and Operational Learning and Accountability.

The Effective International Support for DRF area includes researching disincentives and barriers international actors face in pre-arranging more of their financing and how these could these be managed better; and the structural, political and economic barriers to demand, including conflict, how these could be addressed; as well as understanding what realistic limits to demand, and realistic timelines might be.

Operational Learning and Accountability includes responding to research and evidence requests originated by the Centre’s own Advisory team and clients. This could include documenting and communicating guidance on emerging lessons and good practice in DRF and conducting operational or process learning evaluations. Over the last year, the Centre has decided to also concentrate on accountability and inclusion as a major theme across all functions as a means to drive greater effectiveness in DRF.

The Senior Researcher role will work closely with Evidence Project Leads within multidisciplinary teams of Centre staff, external consultants and partner organisations, to support the delivery of high quality, rigorous, and impartial evidence in support of the Centre’s strategy and work plan, on time and on budget. The Senior Researcher role may also require supporting linked technical communities of practice convened by the Centre and supporting or leading communications and engagement around evidence products.

**Role responsibilities**:

- Contribute to the design of new research projects, developing research methodologies, implementation plans, drafting and managing project budgets.
- Support the management of multi-disciplinary teams to deliver research projects.
- Support the commissioning and procurement of external expertise including drafting Terms of Reference, tenders and conducting interviews and bid analysis.
- Conduct rigorous literature reviews and produce high quality synthesis of findings.
- Lead or contribute to qualitative data collection through key informant interviews and expert convenings.
- Conduct data-led research and analysis including development of novel methodologies ensuring rigorous treatment of data, meticulous data hygiene and documentation of sources and methodologies.
- Draft and contribute to publications including research reports, working papers, guidance and blogs.
- Support the publications process, including peer review, editing and promotion of evidence products.
- Represent the Centre’s evidence work externally in working groups, meetings and events.
- Support routine monitoring and reporting.

In addition to role-specific responsibilities, the Senior Researcher will be required to:

- Uphold the Centre’s values and contribute to a positive organisational culture.
- Build the Centre’s external reputation through managing relations with clients and partners
- across the development, humanitarian, financial and academic sectors.
- Collaborate effectively with teams of Centre staff and consultants.

**Skills and experience**:

- At least five years’ demonstrated experience of qualitative and quantitative research in a related
