Careers

At the National Institute of Economic and Social Research we seek to answer the questions concerning those economic and social issues that affect people’s lives. Our research examines the key issues and, by informing policy-makers, brings about change.

Whilst we are primarily an independent research organisation, our researchers are supported by dedicated administrative staff covering finance, project management, compliance, IT, communications, and HR.
