 | Senior Analyst |  |  |  |  |  | |
The Analyst Institute is an independent center that uses learnings from social psychology, behavioral economics and related fields to help progressive political groups figure out what really wins campaigns. Our Senior Analysts are the central players who make it all happen.
Senior Analysts work closely with partner organizations in developing, designing, executing, and analyzing randomized controlled experiments to evaluate aspects of their political outreach programs.
Experiment might involve membership recruitment, voter registration, fundraising, volunteer mobilization, grassroots advocacy, voter persuasion, or get-out-the-vote efforts -- a wide range of political tactics. Our partners are a wide range of progressive organizations, including labor, environmental, LGBT rights and pro-choice groups, in addition to candidate campaigns.
To succeed as a Senior Analyst, you must have experience with social-science experiments, relevant statistical and methodological training, be self-motivated, and thrive in a dynamic start-up environment. This person may work as a part-time hourly employee (10+ hours per week) or as a full-time salaried employee.
Specifically, you should have:
• Experience designing and implementing social science experiments, especially field experiments.
• Deep understanding of statistics and methods of social scientific measurement and causal inference.
• Detail oriented and highly organized, with the ability to work well under tight deadlines.
• Strong communication skills and professionalism in dealing with Analyst Institute partners.
Ideal candidates will also have one or more of the following (though these are not required):
• Experience working (or volunteering) in political campaigns or political organizations; existing relationships with staff and decision-makers at progressive political organizations are particularly
desirable.
• Familiarity with academic research on persuasion, voter mobilization, and related topics.
• Project management experience, especially in the political or nonprofit sector.
• Familiarity with statistical software (Stata and/or R); mastery of one or more statistical software programs is particularly desirable.
• An advanced degree (M.A., M.S., or Ph.D) in quantitative social sciences.
Location: Washington, DC (McPherson Square), or if part-time, anywhere in the United States.
Starting Salary: Commensurate with experience.
