The Analyst Institute is a research organization with deep roots in the world of social psychology. We conduct experimental research to develop best practices for progressive campaigns and organizations, using insights from social psychology and political science in real world settings.
Political Data Analysts are at the heart of the Analyst Institute's work. You'll be part of a close-knit and capable team, working to apply academic skills to some of the biggest campaigns and elections in the world. Your co-workers, clients and partners will be among the best in the business. If you're passionate about data and social psychology, and if you believe political activism can make change for the better, we want to talk to you.
As an Analyst, you can expect to be involved in AI's many fields of research. You'll prepare and analyze experiments with a direct impact on the success of campaigns.

If you're technically inclined, you can even help build the tools we use in our day-to-day work - the Analytics team is responsible for the technology and systems behind all of AI's efforts.
