    LEOis looking for a proactive, self-starter who desires to be part of solving one of the most critical issues our nation faces today - poverty.

    The Project Development Associate will be part of LEO's Project Development team, which is responsible for identifying and vetting organizations who are fighting poverty with creative and effective programs, ultimately facilitating their entry into the research pipeline.

    This position's responsibilities will include building relationships and identifying the right partners forLEOby telling our story, asking questions, and helping organizations find the right project.

    They will support potential partners through the application process and continue to cultivate relationships with organizations that choose not to apply in order to maintain a robust network of potential future partners.


    Who we are:
    The Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities

    (LEO) at the University of Notre Dame is a research center dedicated to reducing poverty and improving lives in the United States through evidence-based programs and policies. We are dedicated to

    Partnership - We thoughtfully engage with partners and commit to a collaborative process on this road to creating and using evidence.

    We believe the best solutions lie with those closest to the problem, and that our partners are the ones that know best the needs of the communities they serve.

    We embed that belief into every step of the evidence-to-impact journey.
    Rigor - We believe service, philanthropy, and public policy must be aligned with what actually helps people the most. Our partisanship is to those in poverty. We produce rigorous research because we believe an accurate answer, whether inspiring or challenging, makes us all better.

    Dignity - We prioritize the dignity of every person with a preferential option for those struggling in poverty and with awareness of the additional struggles facing marginalized communities.

    We approach our work with respect to those participating in research and structure our work in service to those individuals.

    Our research serves people, not the other way around.

    Hope - The complexities of poverty can be overwhelming, but we don't respond by believing that solving poverty is a hopeless endeavor.

    We respond by building evidence to uncover solutions that reflect an environment of opportunity for all people.

    We diligently pursue what works to reduce poverty with a hopeful confidence that evidence enlightening action will alter the path ahead.


    Who we need:

    We are looking for someone who wants to change the face of poverty in our country and believes that impacting poverty is possible.
