My good friend and colleague Dr Stephen Taylor (who is the Director of Research in the National Department of Basic Education (DBE) in Pretoria) is looking for 2 people to join his team in the Research Monitoring and Evaluation unit. The full job advertisement is here and I’ve included screenshots of the relevant position below. I’ve done a Q&A with Stephen (and Martin Gustafsson who is also in DBE) to give you a flavour of the kind of people they are. I would whole-heartedly recommend Stephen as a boss and a person 🙂 they are creating a really impactful team (Janeli Kotze and Mpumi Mohohlwane have also recently been appointed there full-time). If you are looking for an excellent team, to have an impact in education and have good quantitative skills – apply! (Deadline 17 Feb).
PS I should totally get a finders fee for this kind of thing 🙂

You need to find us a new minister of education.
But you would have to move to Pretoria â lots of theatre and dance there âº
