Overview

​

Mathematica is bidding on a proposal to conduct case studies to understand how the clean energy transition can contribute to job creation (both direct and indirect) in access (productive use) projects; through investment in renewable technology based generation (solar, wind, hydro, geo-thermal); through investment in energy efficiency; and, through sector policy reform. To undertake this work, we are building a roster of experienced Consultants to work closely with our U.S.-based team.

​

If awarded, the project will take place over a period of six months. Project activities will occur intermittently; with an expectation of fewer hours in the early and final periods of the project and intensive work at the mid-point when data collection is ongoing. During this period, the Consultant/s will work closely with the U.S.-based team to (1) refine the data collection approach and semi-structured interview guides; (2) assist in scheduling interviews and maintaining the data collection schedule; (3) lead in data collection activities, including conducting the above-mentioned interviews and collecting relevant secondary data; (4) provide written and audio transcripts of interviews and high-level notes highlighting key findings from each interview; and (5) contribute to the interpretation and reporting of data collected and to the case study write-ups.

​

Research and/or program experience and experience communicating and interacting successfully with government officials, development finance institutions, private sector actors, and international agencies is essential.
