Quantitative Researcher / Data Analyst

The Child Visibility Initiative (CVI) is a system-level intervention working to reduce preventable social orphanhood. We start from a simple observation: most children separated from families could have been seen and supported earlier, but state systems lose them at predictable life-stage transitions — birth registration, immunization, school entry, separation events. We measure where these “leakage points” occur and how systems differ in preventing them.

The CVI Index is the flagship analytical product — a country-level global diagnostic measuring how systems perform across the dimensions of Recognition, Continuity, and Safe Access.

We are hiring a Quantitative Researcher to do the hands-on analytical work behind the index. You will spend most of your time inside survey microdata — cleaning, processing, harmonizing across countries and rounds — and producing the analytical findings that feed the CVI Index and the country case studies. Methodology direction is set by our advisor; your job is to execute it well, spot what the data are saying, and surface insights the team can act on.

This is a technical role first. We are looking for someone who is genuinely good with data and tools, knows survey microdata in their bones, and can produce sharp analytical findings from messy reality.
