We are looking for individuals with a background in public policy (especially education policy) and strong data management and analysis skills.

"Individuals with lived experience with the research and policy issues the WELD teams addresses are strongly encouraged to apply. Candidates in the Washington, DC metropolitan area are preferred; however, we also welcome remote applicants."
