Another world is possible but what would it look like?

You could help us find out.

Are you a radical economist, with a good knowledge of development and the international financial system? Would you like to make a real difference in promoting a global economy run for people and the planet? Are you an innovative and original thinker, as keen to listen to the views of others as to present your own? If so, you might be just the person we are looking for to help take our Jubilee Research programme forward to a broader global finance agenda.

This appointment may be made at junior level (minimum 35 years experience) or senior level.

About nef
nef (the New Economics Foundation) is a radical "think-and-do" tank, founded in 1986 by the people who led the first "Other Economic Summit" a fore-runner to the World Social Forum. It is based on the principles of new economics, working on the UK and international economies and the environment, and seeks to promote well-being, rights and environmental sustainability, and to resolve tensions between these objectives. It was Prospect Magazine's UK Think Tank of the Year in 2002/3.

We see nef's comparative advantage as being threefold.

We are more values-driven than most academic institutions in economics, our work being directed by the concept of alternative economic approaches which put rights, well-being and sustainability ahead of ideology, commercial interests and macroeconomic preoccupations;

Our role as a think tank allows us to undertake more concentrated and extensive research than is often possible for NGOs, and to focus on the fundamental roots of social and environmental problems particularly in the intellectual climate and sociopolitical culture as well as their manifestations and proximate causes; and

Our commitment equally to sustainability, rights (social and economic as well as political and cultural) and well-being, our engagement and expertise on both development and environmental issues, our status as a think tank rather than an NGO, and our strong commitment to collaborative approaches mean that we are ideally placed to act as a neutral party between NGOs in discussions on economic issues.

The programme set out here is designed to maximise our contribution to the achievement of our objectives in the light of these considerations.
