About the role

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises, helping to restore health, safety, education, economic wellbeing, and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster. Founded in 1933 at the call of Albert Einstein, the IRC is one of the world's largest international humanitarian non-governmental organizations (INGO), at work in more than 40 countries and 29 U.S. cities helping people to survive, reclaim control of their future and strengthen their communities. A force for humanity, IRC employees deliver lasting impact by restoring safety, dignity and hope to millions. If you're a solutions-driven, passionate change-maker, come join us in positively impacting the lives of millions of people world-wide for a better future. IRC reaches over a million children annually with education and child protection programs in 25 countries around the world. The IRC's Airbel Impact Lab designs, tests, and scales life-changing, cost-effective solutions for people affected by conflict and disaster. By applying deep technical expertise and field experience with rigorous research and multi-disciplinary problem-solving, we develop breakthrough solutions in humanitarian contexts. IRC is seeking a Regional Research Deputy Director to lead IRC's research agenda and studies in Bangladesh and Mayanmar. The position will join the Airbel Impact Lab and work closely with the Education Technical Unit to oversee Education Research in Conflict and Protracted Crisis (ERICC), an FCDO-funded consortium, across the region. ERICC builds new and higher standard for education research in the humanitarian sector, growing the global body of evidence about what works for education in crisis contexts, as well as how, where, why, for whom and at what cost.
