Research Scientist - Lafayette, United States - University of Louisiana at Lafayette
Description
Position Title:
Research Scientist
Department: 9261|Kathleen B Blanco Public Policy Ctr
Responsibilities:
The Kathleen Blanco Public Policy Center at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette is an independent, interdisciplinary research center and archive engaged in research across a range of topics in public policy.
The Louisiana Legislature has designated the Blanco Center as the administrator of a new state administrative data center for longitudinal research called LA FIRST, which was established to support policy research in Louisiana.
To support this new initiative, the Blanco Center is hiring a Research Scientist to lead the development of policy reports using LA FIRST data.
The Research Scientist must have training and experience in quantitative research and will design, plan and implement in-depth longitudinal studies with support from a staff of several researchers and data analysts.
This position will prioritize candidates with subject matter expertise in the areas of labor economics; elementary, secondary and post-secondary education; and/or workforce research.
The Research Scientist will work with Blanco Center leadership, other staff Research Scientists, and agency stakeholders to identify specific areas of research to complete the Launch Louisiana Report and the Louisiana Employment Outcomes Report.
These reports will be updated and expanded over time, producing both a broad understanding of the performance of Louisiana's education and workforce systems and more targeted analyses of specific programs or research questions.
Successful implementation of this research program will produce high impact research to inform policy and real-world outcomes, which will also lead to a sustained pipeline of publications in academic journals to disseminate findings more broadly.
The Research Scientist will also be responsible for effectively translating research findings for broad and varied audiences using a variety of deliverables including (but not limited to) policy reports and briefs, research papers, presentations, webinars, video recordings, and data dashboards.
This is a 12-month position.
