The Research Associate will join a team of world-class researchers from leading universities in the world and will gain first-hand experience implementing randomized control trials in an organization undertaking cutting-edge development research. Read more about our work and projects Project Specific Details This project is a scale-up of a previously evaluated study tested across multiple countries by J-PAL invited researcher Noam Angrist and colleagues (Angrist, Bergman, Matsheng 2022; Angrist et al 2023). The state government of Karnataka plans to scale up a remote tailored instruction approach for grades 3-5. The governments Ganitha Ganaka programme was launched based on the evidence supporting a tailored instruction approach that uses phones to connect high-quality instruction and tutoring with students and parents. Within the 2024-25 academic year, the government aims to reach approximately 456,000 students across 93 educationally low-performing administrative blocks. As the government intends to implement this programme at a large scale this year, we aim to embed quick process research activities that will support the government (a) with actionable insights on optimising programme implementation as they seek to achieve scale, and (b) set up large-scale monitoring systems within the government to effectively monitor and enable different levels of the education system to use of programme data for feedback and course correction.

The position offers an opportunity to gain first-hand field management experience in an organization undertaking cutting-edge development research. The Research Support Assistant will join a team of world-class researchers from leading universities in the world and will gain first-hand experience implementing development field research. Read more about our work and projects J-PAL South Asia is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate qualified applicants without regard to age, disability, family status, gender identity, race, religion, sexual orientation and other attributes protected by law. We strongly encourage people from marginalized communities to apply for this role. Project Specific Details Indias National Education Policy (NEP, 2020) sets forth an ambitious agenda to transform education in India. Policies relating to vocational education in particular have undergone significant changes with a view to equip young Indians with 21st century skills. As children progress through schooling, they will be exposed to age appropriate activities that enhance their vocational skills, knowledge and work towards proficiency in chosen vocations by the end of grade 12. Notably, under recent reforms,vocational education will no longer be a subject students chose in lieu of other academic subjects, rather policies will open up a wide variety of educational streams with vocational courses being one among the many options. Such a change in childrens choice option is expected to mitigate unfavorable attitudes towards vocational education as something children choose only when they are unable to perform well in academic subjects. By integrating a focus on vocational skills from an early age, this policy attempts to bring a holistic approach towards education in general. This project will be conducted in partnership with NGO Lend a Hand India (LAHI), one of Indias largest organizations working on school-based vocational education, and will conduct research to inform programming at this nascent but critical juncture, and design future randomized evaluations institutionalize evidence-based improvements to program design and implementation. The study will focus on understanding aspirations and attitudes of children and their parents towards vocational training, how school personnel make decisions regarding content of training, and challenges faced by small and medium enterprises towards quality hiring. The study will also focus on different aspirations and expectations among young girls and boys. The findings from this scoping study will enable discussions for a future randomized evaluation, as a new vocational education curriculum is rolled out in grades 11-12 in the next academic year. The study will involve conducting surveys and qualitative interviews with different stakeholders such as students, parents, teachers and government officials to gain a better understanding of the above-mentioned questions across two Indian states with strong LAHI presence - Gujarat and Jharkhand. Research Support Assistants work closely with Research Managers Principal Investigators who guide and supervise them in their various tasks. The research support assistant would be working closely with the LAHI and the state education departments to conduct surveys and key informant interviews, Thus, the research support assistant will obtain a rich experience across both the technical research skills and partnering with NGOs.
