Dear Education Program members,
I am looking for a new Project Manager to work with me through the
NBER. I attach the listing below. This is a great job for a recent
but mature BA with some research experience. It has been filled in
the past by a BA who had experience with Abt Associates and who wanted
to prepare for a Ph.D. program. It has also been filled by someone
with a Ph.D., with an appropriate adjustment in compensation and
duties. If you know of someone who might fit the bill, could you
please forward the job listing to them? They can apply directly to me
or can send their materials via monster.com where the listing is
publicly posted.
Sarah Turner and I are also about to advertise for a Project Manager
on an unrelated research project in higher education. The two jobs
have similar though not identical requirements. Any candidate you
send my way will also, if appropriate, be considered for the higher
education-related Project Manager job.
Many thanks, Caroline Hoxby
