🌍 We are hiring: Postdoctoral Research Fellow & Impact Officer (NRI) 🌍

The Natural Resources Institute (NRI) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Fellow & Impact Officer to work at the frontier of SDG‑aligned prosperity and peacebuilding in fragile settings.

This is not a conventional postdoc. It’s a highly applied role for someone ready to move quickly between rigorous interdisciplinary research, solution co‑design, and real‑world impact delivery.

Imagine stepping into a tense border region or a climate‑stressed community shaped by violence. Where others see fragility, you see systems that can be redesigned, institutions that can be strengthened, and futures that can be reclaimed. That’s the mindset we’re looking for.

This role is best suited to candidates who already:
🔎Publish as sole or first author in Q1 journals across peace, conflict, fragility, development, climate and/or environmental studies
🔎Work as applied development researchers with significant field‑embedded experience
🔎Have designed, piloted, evaluated or scaled SDG‑facing interventions in fragile or low‑income contexts
🔎Can translate research into policy‑relevant insights, practical tools, and measurable community‑level impact

This is not a general sustainability, development, or management postdoc. We’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running, co‑design bold solutions with partners, produce high‑impact publications, and deliver tangible prosperity and peace outcomes under the hardest conditions imaginable.

If you are motivated by turning fragile systems into flourishing ones, we would love to hear from you!
