    The Team

    MEF Associates is a well-established social policy research firm specializing in rigorous research that influences and shapes social programs that serve millions of Americans each year.

    For the last decade, we have worked at all levels of government and with various non-profits focused on bettering policy related to child and family well-being, workforce development, income security, and early childhood education.

    We combine diverse work experiences and expertise to deliver meaningful, data-driven solutions.
    The Culture
    Our staff come to MEF because of our ability to make a difference through research. Each one of us brings a unique perspective, diversity of approach, and uncompromising commitment to research excellence. We believe that what we do impacts the effectiveness and efficiency of public policy and programs. Through this work, we realize our mission to improve the lives of vulnerable individuals, children, and families. We strive to use inclusive research methods that promote collaboration with the programs and communities with whom we work.

    We value a diverse workforce and the benefits that come from research being conducted by individuals with varied backgrounds and life experiences.

    As a relatively small firm, we value close collaboration and a supportive work culture. We are committed to the growth and professional development of our staff.
    The Opportunity
    We are seeking a Research Analyst to join our team.

    In this early career role, you will contribute to our ongoing work on an array of research and evaluation projects.

    The work you do will represent a mix of qualitative and quantitative research on projects related to program and policy areas such as:

    income security, workforce development, employment and training programs, food assistance, public housing, financial capability, early care and education, family strengthening, and refugee programs.

    As a Research Analyst, you have a unique opportunity to join a growing business and to work on a wide variety of large-scale policy research and evaluation efforts.

    Contributing to reports, proposals, and presentations
    Identifying new business opportunities and writing proposals
    While our team has varied backgrounds filled with valuable experiences, we look for a consistent set of things that we believe contribute to success


    They include:
    A graduate degree in economics, statistics, public policy, or related fields
    Prior experience working on relevant research and evaluation projects demonstrating progressively increased responsibilities
    Experience in equitable evaluation and inclusive research is a plus.
    Effective project management skills and experience, with ability to multi-task and manage competing priorities in deadline-focused, team-oriented environment
    Commitment to details and accuracy
    Demonstrated excellence in writing and verbal communication
    Relationship-driven, effective communicator with strong interpersonal skills and ability to collaborate with others in a respectful way
    Ability to travel domestically on occasion as public health conditions permit
    While not requirements, we feel the following skills would be beneficial:
    Fluency in Spanish, written and verbal is preferred.

    More generally, MEF recognizes the value in hiring individuals who are bi/multilingual, including native speakers, especially given the diversity of populations served by the programs we study.

    Familiarity with experimental and nonexperimental impact study designs
    Experience working for federal, state, and private clients on economic or social policy issues
    Working knowledge of statistical or qualitative software package (e.g., Stata, R, SAS, NVivo, Dedoose)

It typically includes frequent phone/audio communication and/or video conferencing usage; and extensive computer, keyboard, and mouse use. It requires the ability to travel domestically by airplane on occasion. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
