Part-Time Job Oppotunity for Retirees

International Growth Centre—Roster of Potential Country Directors

The International Growth Centre (IGC) is a UK-funded joint venture of the LSE and Oxford and is run primarily by development economists who are former academics. The idea is to work with governments and conduct policy research usually at the request of senior policy makers. The IGC has country programs in some 10 or so countries in Africa and Asia. The Executive Director is building its roster of potential country directors that might be interested in joining the IGC. The CD job is part-time - some 70-85 days a year, depending on the country, at a daily rate of £750 per day, and can be non-resident. The ideal candidate is a person with extensive international experience in Africa and/or Asia, solid economics background, stature to engage credibly with Ministers and senior officials, some management experience and interest in mentoring dynamic group of young economists, and intellectual interest in economic policy and research to promote growth. Advantages include control of one’s own time, ability to work from anywhere, and engagement with dynamic country-based young economists and international lead academics. Several current CDs are retired from the Bretton Woods institutions. At present, the IGC has CD openings in Zambia and Jordan, but other slots are expected to open up over the next year or so.
