    Default job background
    Full time
    Description

    Harlem Children's Zone (HCZ) — a world-renowned education and poverty-fighting organization based in New York — seeks an enthusiastic, dedicated, and mission-aligned Research Science Associate to support the Research and Evaluation Department.

    The Research Science Associate will bring a passion for the mission of the Harlem Children's Zone: To break the cycle of intergenerational poverty with comprehensive, on-the-ground programming that builds up opportunities for children and families to thrive in school, work, and life.

    The Research Science Associate will help implement and maintain a research agenda that a) supports ongoing integration of evidence-based best practices into HCZ program development and implementation; b) identifies opportunities to innovate in the area of place-based poverty alleviation work; and c) emphasizes the translation of research findings into actionable recommendations that will be accessible to teams across the organization and to external partners.

    Working closely with the Director of Research Science and the Senior Research Science Associate, the Research Science Associate is a key member of the department's Research Science team. The Research Science Associate will assist in developing and conducting studies that answer questions central to the ongoing success of HCZ programs. Critically, the Associate works to ensure that research projects are completed and presented to help program leads, senior HCZ staff, and external funders understand how current interventions are related to key indicators of participant success and highlight opportunities for innovation.

    This role is an exciting opportunity for someone with a very strong research background and experience analyzing complex systems to contribute to the continued growth, learning, and success of a frontline organization with comprehensive services.
