Analyst Institute is looking to fill a Research Manager role on the Research Team. You'll be part of a close-knit, cutting edge team of experts with backgrounds in social, behavioral, and data science working together to both conduct research to support our partners in the progressive movement and translate that research into actionable insight to inform their work.
We’re looking to fill the Research Manager role as soon as possible. We will be accepting applications through October 23rd.
The Role
Research Managers (RMs) act as the principal investigators on our research projects, leading small project teams that are responsible for conducting our research. RMs are project managers who develop, design, and run field experiments, among other types of quantitative research, on a wide variety of subjects: get-out-the vote efforts, voter registration, persuasion, organizing and power-building, and more. RMs work directly with our partner organizations across the progressive movement to think creatively about developing research that can inform their work — which involves taking social science and “translating” it for folks working on the ground.
As an RM, you will get exposure to people and organizations across the progressive movement, develop, implement, and manage complex projects, and work with other talented practitioners across the space. You will be a prominent player in the progressive world, and we will invest in your skills and professional development. If you are a strong project manager with a deep understanding of research design and can communicate technical information to practitioners, this could be a great role for you.
As a Research Manager on the Research Team, you will:
Design research projects, including randomized controlled trials and other types of quantitative research, in partnership with progressive organizations to meet the partner’s research goals.
Communicate the potential benefits, drawbacks, and challenges of various research designs to non-technical partners in order to work together to identify the best research design for the partner’s research goals.
Connect with partner organizations to understand their perspectives and research objectives.
Manage simultaneous projects, often at varying stages of development, from design to implementation to analysis.
Communicate both internally and externally to ensure projects’ success.
Qualifications
The following encompasses many of the skills and experiences we consider for Research Managers, but we encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all of the qualifications.
You should be someone who has skills/experience in:
Research : Has relevant work or post-graduate education experience conducting all parts of the research process, including research question development, study design, data collection, analysis, and reporting, especially related to social science questions. Has an understanding of statistics and methods of social scientific measurement and causal inference.
Project Management : Able to lead and manage simultaneous, often fast-paced projects with multiple internal and external contributors and partners; highly organized and able to provide day-to-day oversight implementing multiple projects; and able to develop and manage project timelines, ensuring timely completion of project work (our partners often work on tight timelines).
Detail-orientation : Driven to complete high quality work with limited errors.
Communication : Has strong written and verbal communication skills and can communicate with varied audiences including data scientists and progressive practitioners.
Commitment to equity and inclusion : Values diversity, equity, and inclusion and recognizes the role race, gender, and other identities play in political behavior.
Relationship-building : Able to connect with a wide range of people in the progressive community. Collaborates creatively and respectfully with people across cultures and backgrounds.
Public speaking : Is comfortable with running meetings and delivering presentations, including one-on-one and small group settings.
Though not necessary, we are interested in people with the following experiences (please be sure to note these in your resume and/or cover letter):
Advanced knowledge of methods of social scientific measurement, including non-experimental research designs and methodologies.
Experience working with communities of color and other marginalized groups or experience studying racial and ethnic politics.
Experience working or volunteering with political campaigns, community based-organizations, or other progressive groups or similar organizations.
Knowledge about existing research and theory related to political power building, political behavior, or political psychology.
Logistics
Location : Our entire staff works remotely in various states across the U.S., and our internal culture fully supports and integrates remote staff. This position may be asked to travel periodically for in-person trainings, important convenings, and team-building. Willingness to travel is required for this role up to 5% of the time.
Start date : We are looking for this position to start in January 2024, but potentially earlier. This is a full-time, exempt position.
Compensation range : Salary commensurate with experience and skill set, from $70,000 to $90,000.
Benefits : These include 100% premium-covered health care and 99% covered dental and vision care, generous paid time off, 401(k) matching, disability and life insurance, twelve weeks paid parental leave (including for the birth, adoption, or fostering of a child), and professional development stipends for self-directed growth.

University of Washington | Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation
Seattle, WA [remote available]
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is an independent research center at the University of Washington. Its mission is to deliver to the world timely, relevant, and scientifically valid evidence to improve health policy and practice. IHME carries out its mission through a range of projects within different research areas including the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors; Future Health Scenarios; Costs and Cost Effectiveness; Resource Tracking; and Impact Evaluations. Our vision is to provide policymakers, donors, and researchers with the highest-quality quantitative evidence base so all people live long lives in full health.
IHME is committed to providing the evidence base necessary to help solve the world’s most important health problems. This requires creativity and innovation, which are cultivated by an inclusive, diverse, and equitable environment that respects and appreciates differences, embraces collaboration, and invites the voices of all IHME team members.
IHME has an exciting opportunity to join the team as a Project Officer on the Resource Tracking team. IHME’s Resource Tracking portfolio generates annual estimates of global health financing; assesses macro unit costs; tracks resources provided for different diseases and risk factors; and widely measures expenditures that flow through the various functions of health systems in different countries. This work relies upon the collation of all available quantitative data from a variety of sources, including budgets, financial reports, tax filings, hospital records, healthy facility surveys, and claims data, among others. Through these efforts, major peer-reviewed publications, an annual policy report, and novel interactive tools are produced to help scientific and non-scientific audiences digest our results. The primary purpose of the position is to facilitate the implementation of multidisciplinary research tracking and assessing US health care spending, with analyses focused on small area estimation and variation across US counties and measuring and assessing disparities in spending and utilization across key race and ethnicity categories. This work requires timely coordination, management, and communication among different internal and external audiences, within and across research teams.
The Project Officer will manage enterprise workflow, from data, to analytic processes, to results critique, to improvement. To create the needed indicators, the position manages collation of all available relevant quantitative data, from both external sources and other teams within IHME. The Project Officer will help facilitate the modeling of estimates and help to manage various analytic processes that are used to apply innovative analytic methods. Finally, they will ensure the results are vetted and eventually disseminated appropriately through a variety of mechanisms such as web presence, interactive tools and data visualizations, conference presentations, scientific publications, and materials for non-scientific audiences.
To succeed, the Project Officer must develop a sufficient understanding of the Resource Tracking team’s intellectual and analytic approach, as well as the inner workings, timelines, and goals. They must also become conversant in the quantitative methods and modeling approaches used by the research team. In addition to becoming articulate about methods and results, the Project Officer must be adept at facilitating communication among technical and project staff with varying degrees of experience and from a variety of cultural settings and disciplines. Finally, the Project Officer must fully understand the project goals and be able to translate those goals into action by managing resources (including people) to achieve important deadlines for the delivery of complex products and tasks. Overall, the Project Officer will be a critical member of an agile, dynamic team. This position is contingent on project funding availability.
Responsibilities:
Research command
Develop a command of the intellectual material, and the relevant results, as they act as inputs to the research area and the projects the individual must facilitate. The individual is expected to develop an astute understanding of the material presented in journal articles, policy reports, and presentations that result from the projects on which they work.
Become thoroughly familiar with the details of complex interdisciplinary projects included in Resource Tracking’s portfolio, including their goals, objectives, and activities. As a knowledgeable resource on a project’s intellectual substance, be integrally involved with all processes and key activities during the lifecycle of the project and be able to summarize the project’s progress to internal and external audiences.
Develop a command of the computational, diagnostic, and visualization needs of the portfolio and the associated competencies, skills, and resources required to achieve the research goals.
Project management
Facilitate complex projects involving cutting-edge quantitative data collation, analyses, and tools for dissemination.
Monitor and assess adherence to data and code quality protocols among researchers, data professionals, and other staff; track progress against deadlines; and help resolve roadblocks.
Expertly carry out communications, relationship building, and project management with faculty and senior leaders from governmental, non-profit, research, academic, and donor organizations to attain project goals and facilitate productive collaboration.
Liaise with project managers and faculty across many teams in order to leverage the wealth of data generated by IHME.
Drive research forward by managing dynamic teams of researchers and professional staff. Turn intellectual agendas set by researchers into action plans that can be implemented effectively across multiple project participants to achieve demanding and time-sensitive project milestones.

Track progress and manage coordination and communication across the team.
Manage high-quality data collation, cleaning, and integration into the analytic process.
Develop study protocols, process descriptions, and training materials to ensure efficient operations across the team.
Coordinate needs and actions across multiple teams internally to ensure data access, analyses, and diagnostics are appropriately connected and undertaken efficiently to produce results in a timely manner.
Facilitate routine analytic processes and modeling efforts to derive key indicators and estimates based upon set protocols and parameters.
Monitor, report, and forecast workflow and deadlines through effective portfolio management.
Coordinate implementation of research code and documentation versioning, improvements to code, and documentation of out-of-code processes.
Facilitate creation of estimates documentation for the purpose of institutional knowledge sharing.
Supervisory/management

Full time
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is an independent research center at the University of Washington. Its mission is to deliver to the world timely, relevant, and scientifically valid evidence to improve health policy and practice. IHME carries out its mission through a range of projects within different research areas including the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors; Future Health Scenarios; Costs and Cost Effectiveness; Resource Tracking; and Impact Evaluations. Our vision is to provide policymakers, donors, and researchers with the highest-quality quantitative evidence base so all people live long lives in full health.
IHME is committed to providing the evidence base necessary to help solve the world’s most important health problems. This requires creativity and innovation, which are cultivated by an inclusive, diverse, and equitable environment that respects and appreciates differences, embraces collaboration, and invites the voices of all IHME team members.
IHME has an exciting opportunity to join the team as a Project Officer on the Resource Tracking team. IHME’s Resource Tracking portfolio generates annual estimates of global health financing; assesses macro unit costs; tracks resources provided for different diseases and risk factors; and widely measures expenditures that flow through the various functions of health systems in different countries. This work relies upon the collation of all available quantitative data from a variety of sources, including budgets, financial reports, tax filings, hospital records, healthy facility surveys, and claims data, among others. Through these efforts, major peer-reviewed publications, an annual policy report, and novel interactive tools are produced to help scientific and non-scientific audiences digest our results. The primary purpose of the position is to facilitate the implementation of multidisciplinary research tracking and assessing US health care spending, with analyses focused on small area estimation and variation across US counties and measuring and assessing disparities in spending and utilization across key race and ethnicity categories. This work requires timely coordination, management, and communication among different internal and external audiences, within and across research teams.
The Project Officer will manage enterprise workflow, from data, to analytic processes, to results critique, to improvement. To create the needed indicators, the position manages collation of all available relevant quantitative data, from both external sources and other teams within IHME. The Project Officer will help facilitate the modeling of estimates and help to manage various analytic processes that are used to apply innovative analytic methods. Finally, they will ensure the results are vetted and eventually disseminated appropriately through a variety of mechanisms such as web presence, interactive tools and data visualizations, conference presentations, scientific publications, and materials for non-scientific audiences.
To succeed, the Project Officer must develop a sufficient understanding of the Resource Tracking team’s intellectual and analytic approach, as well as the inner workings, timelines, and goals. They must also become conversant in the quantitative methods and modeling approaches used by the research team. In addition to becoming articulate about methods and results, the Project Officer must be adept at facilitating communication among technical and project staff with varying degrees of experience and from a variety of cultural settings and disciplines. Finally, the Project Officer must fully understand the project goals and be able to translate those goals into action by managing resources (including people) to achieve important deadlines for the delivery of complex products and tasks. Overall, the Project Officer will be a critical member of an agile, dynamic team. This position is contingent on project funding availability.
Responsibilities:

Become thoroughly familiar with the details of complex interdisciplinary projects included in Resource Tracking’s portfolio, including their goals, objectives, and activities. As a knowledgeable resource on a project’s intellectual substance, be integrally involved with all processes and key activities during the lifecycle of the project and be able to summarize the project’s progress to internal and external audiences.
Develop a command of the computational, diagnostic, and visualization needs of the portfolio and the associated competencies, skills, and resources required to achieve the research goals.

American Oversight is looking for an energetic and organized person to help support our larger special research projects, primarily our investigation into the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus. We’re a non-partisan, non-profit watchdog that uses targeted public records requests and litigation to expose evidence of corruption, abuse of power, or conflicts of interest. We’ve launched a wide-ranging investigation into the federal, state, and local responses to the coronavirus pandemic, and we’ve filed more than 600 public records requests and seven lawsuits seeking answers.
We need an exceptional person to help us keep track of those requests, work with the legal and research teams to identify gaps that we should be investigating, and monitor the work of other advocacy groups and congressional investigators working in this space.
American Oversight is normally based in downtown Washington, DC, in an office that is easily accessible by multiple metro and bus lines. Given the current pandemic, American Oversight’s team is working remotely for the foreseeable future. This position is open to outstanding candidates across the United States, but with a strong preference for candidates in the Washington DC area.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
This position will report to our Chief Oversight Counsel and work closely with our research, legal, and communications teams, but will require significant autonomy so it’s important for the right person to be extremely organized, driven, and a self-starter.

Work with the communications team to help build and maintain American Oversight’s coronavirus oversight tracker to track internal and external investigations related to the pandemic.
Compile and maintain a database of congressional investigations related to oversight of the coronavirus and the government’s response.

Participate in regular meetings both internally and with our partner organizations to track coronavirus oversight efforts.
Work with American Oversight’s legal and research teams to conceptualize and draft targeted, strategic, litigation-ready public records requests on the coronavirus, and identify potential gaps.
Closely follow the news – including mainstream outlets, industry newsletters, and other sources – to identify opportunities to shed light on important stories related to the pandemic using public records requests.
QUALIFICATIONS
We are open to applications from individuals with a broad range of types of experience and experience levels, though we expect the best fit for this position may have between one and five years experience work and/or internship experience in journalism, political campaigns, government service or related fields. Successful candidates will have the following skills:
Excellent organizational skills. Are you the kind of person who can find a receipt from two years ago and categorizes your books according to the Dewey Decimal System? If so, we want to hear from you!
Strong writing skills and the ability to write on complex and nuanced topics for a broad, general audience;
Self-motivated and the ability to work independently and on self-directed projects and handle multiple tasks simultaneously;
Team player, comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and to represent those self-directed projects in the broader organization to further the mission of American Oversight;
Proven ability to think strategically about and execute complex investigations with clear goals and a focus on outcomes;
Fluency and interest in public health issues related to the coronavirus pandemic as well as a working familiarity with current politics and issues related to the coronavirus pandemic;
A wide-ranging news diet and an ability to spot important stories.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
