AddressAbout us
IIPP’s work equips global leaders to co-design growth that is innovation-led, sustainable, and inclusive. As a workplace, we are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where all belong. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in our workforce, in particular people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, disabled people, and LGBTQI+ people.
About the role
The Public Sector Capabilities Index is a research initiative by the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose with support from Bloomberg Philanthropies. The project seeks to develop the first global measure of where government capacity is strong and where critical public sector skills – such as engaging residents through innovation, cross-sector collaboration, and leveraging data infrastructure and digital platforms – must be built up. The research focuses on cities, and as part of its output, the project will examine areas in which a municipality can quickly scale or invest to bolster existing capabilities, serving as a guide for city leaders as well as state and national entities who can supply funding and support. Bloomberg Philanthropies is supporting this initial phase of work to test the viability of the Index.
About you
The Research Fellowin Data Analytics and Visualisation will work closely with the project team to help identify and develop data on public sector capabilities and to develop options for the design and deployment of the Public Sector Capabilities Index.
What we offer
IIPP brings together an interdisciplinary group of cutting-edge academics and practitioners to influence global policy decisions and create new policy collaborations. Our mission is to change how public value is imagined, practised and evaluated to tackle societal challenges—and, by doing this, to deliver economic growth that is innovation-led, sustainable, and inclusive.
Our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
As London’s Global University, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation, and we want our community to represent the diversity of the world’s talent. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where we all belong. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in UCL’s workforce. These include people from Black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds; disabled people; LGBTQI+ people; and for our Grade 9 and 10 roles, women.
