We are looking for a research manager and a research assistant for an exciting new project: a randomized controlled trial of two policy interventions in the Sierra Leone public health sector. I’ve been working on this for the last few months alongside Oeindrila Dube from NYU, Vivek Maru from the World Bank, Rachel Glennerster from MIT-JPAL, and several others; and we are finally ready to roll.
