Dear NBER Economics of Education group,
Sarah Turner and I, for our Expanding College Opportunities project,
are looking for a full-time Project Consultant (see below), who should
have 5 or more years of experience and who need not be an economist or
someone with similar training. However, the person should be someone
with project experience, preferably related to education.
We are also looking for a full-time RA who can be a recent BA. This
person must be well trained in RA-type skills of--at a minimum--an
advanced undergraduate variety. He or she must be a good writer and
good communicator.
People interested in the Project Consultant job should apply through
the Stanford jobs website. If you know someone interested in the
full-time RA job, he or she should email Sarah and me with a c.v.,
directly.
Here is the Project Consultant job description and the link to the application.
Many thanks for your help in identifying candidates,
Caroline Hoxby

Project Consultant
Expanding College Opportunities Program
The Project Consultant will help to implement key parts of a research
program on improving college outcomes for low income students. The
Project Consultant will report directly to the Principal
Investigators. He or she will also communicate with outside experts
(such as college leaders and administrators), with policy audiences,
and with the existing research team who are responsible for current
operation of the research program.
Qualifications:
A successful applicant should demonstrate serious interest and
experience in research related to education policy, be entrepreneurial
in the sense of being able to find information and devise creative
solutions to implementation issues. A successful applicant will be a
superb writer who can show examples of his or her writing related to
some social enterprise or other relevant activity; this may include
policy, academic, or journalistic writing. A candidate will have
excellent communications skills in person, for email, and on the
telephone, will be organized and independent, and must have
professional demeanor.
Candidates must have a BA plus at least 5 years of experience in a job
that required a fair amount of independence. Experience can have been
part of a graduate degree program.
This position is one-year, fixed term from the date of hire.
