    The Energy Institute seeks a motivated Research Associate to manage a suite of projects deploying a novel low-cost technology designed to measure electricity outages, power reliability, and power quality. Professor Catherine Wolfram, a Research Affiliate of the Energy Institute, is the Principal Investigator on several projects that deploy the GridWatch technologies in households and businesses in East and West Africa. The projects will use the GridWatch data to evaluate rigorously, and at a more granular level than previously achieved, the impact of new electricity infrastructure investments on households and businesses. The primary project is funded by the Millennium Challenge Corporation to deploy GridWatch and conduct an impact evaluation in Accra, Ghana. The GridWatch team comprises both engineers and economists.

    The Research Associate will oversee and coordinate the field research activities involving the GridWatch technologies in Ghana, Kenya, and Sierra Leone.
