[Mahesh Srinivasan]

*Program Manager – Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA)*



The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) is a hub for research on
global development, with a network of 90 academic researchers extending
across the University of California, Stanford University, and the
University of Washington. CEGA’s newest initiative, the Psychology and
Economics of Poverty (PEP) Collaborative, seeks to establish a new research
agenda on the cognitive and behavioral effects of poverty around the world
by cultivating a tight-knit community of economists, cognitive and social
psychologists, and other scientists working on poverty reduction. The
initiative is led by Berkeley economist Supreet Kaur and psychologist
Mahesh Srinivasan. Key activities will include the development of an
interdisciplinary community of learning through lab meetings, reading
groups, workshops, and conferences; the creation of a competitive
grant-making process to help faculty and students explore promising
research opportunities; and the development of a set of observational
research studies to explore cognitive and behavioral mechanisms elicited by
economic shocks.

The Program Manager will lead and/or coordinate all activities related to
the PEP initiative, including landscape assessments and literature reviews,
grant competitions and scientific convenings, research coordination, donor
reporting, and dissemination. This is a challenging opportunity for
candidates who are passionate about global development and rigorous impact
evaluation, and have an interest in research related to the psychology and
economics of poverty.
