Researcher (Think Tank)

A Researcher in a think tank is responsible for carrying out in-depth analysis on social, economic, or political issues. This role involves gathering data, reviewing literature, conducting interviews, and producing reports or policy recommendations. Think tank researchers often specialise in areas such as health, education, economics, or international relations, aiming to inform policy decisions and public debate. Day-to-day tasks might include writing briefings, presenting findings, and engaging with stakeholders such as government officials, journalists, or academics. This career suits those with strong analytical, communication, and writing skills. Most researchers have a degree, often at postgraduate level, in a relevant subject.
