Job Description
Mission of the role:

This role will be a critical member of the Content and Knowledge team at GSL. School Leadership is a vastly understudied area of research in low and middle-income countries. The field of school leadership is gaining more visibility, with governments and funders starting to shift resources to support school leaders in LMICs for more effective program implementation and policy adoption. Through our research, we have found that we need more empirical evidence about the specific ways school leaders impact student outcomes, more effective ways to improve capacity while reducing time and cost, and how education systems can better support school leaders and scale effective school leadership programs. The Content and Knowledge team at GSL aims to address this challenge by collaborating with our partners, researchers, practitioners, and other similar organizations. The Research Manager will play a key role in producing original research and synthesizing existing knowledge on school leadership to facilitate evidence-based program and policy decisions.

  • Support affiliate partners to improve the collection and use of data. 

  • Analyze data and present findings.

  • Use data to contribute to strategic decision-making, organizational learning, and project planning with GSL and affiliate organization leadership.

  • Synthesize existing research on school leadership to inform our programmatic and policy work.

  • Identify opportunities for research funding and developing proposals.

  • You have experience in collaborating with a diverse group of partners, stakeholders, and researchers.
