Policy Analysis & Solution Development

Translate research findings into practical policy options and implementation strategies.

Partner with Programs and Public Policy to ensure research informs organizational priorities.

Research Partnerships & Resource Development

Develop partnerships with universities, research institutions, and government agencies.
Support grant proposals by developing methodologies and technical narratives.
Represent Prosperity Now through presentations and publications.

People Leadership

8-10 years of progressively responsible applied research experience.
Demonstrated experience producing objective, evidence-informed research.
Strong grounding in economics, quantitative analysis, and mixed-methods research.
Experience with large public datasets and STATA, R, Python, or equivalent.
Experience supervising research staff.
