Dear Research Community, I’m excited to share this unique opportunity to come help me lead CivicPulse as we continue to grow. If you’re interested in applying, you can email me your resume and cover letter (details below). Thanks, Nathan Lee Founder and Managing Director, CivicPulse PhD, Political Science, Stanford University **About CivicPulse** CivicPulse is a fast-growing nonprofit startup dedicated to bridging the gap between academic research and local and state government. We do this both through representative surveys of public officials as well as through administrative data collection on key areas of interest to both researcher and practitioner communities. Our data has been used in peer-reviewed publications such as the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Journal of Political Science, and the American Political Science Review, and our findings have been highlighted in media outlets such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, and NPR. **About the Position** As a six-person team, we all inevitably wear many hats. That said, here are *five key responsibilities* of the job as it is currently envisioned: - Work closely with Founder and Managing Director to shape CivicPulse’s expanding vision - Meet with new academic clients and partners to brainstorm and develop research ideas - Cultivate new relationships with foundations, research centers, and government associations - Lead the development, design, and execution of new data initiatives and research reports - Present CivicPulse research at both academic and practitioner conferences Our offices are headquartered in the highly underrated city of Rochester, New York—a city full of beautiful parks, waterfalls, breweries, and history. The job is on-site, but with a flexible start date. Final round interviews would include a fly-out to meet the team. *Pay Range:* $80,000 - $110,000. This represents the present low and high end of the pay range for this position. Actual pay will vary based on various factors, including but not limited to experience. **Requirements** - Quantitative social science PhD or equivalent professional experience - Creative yet systematic thinker - Growth mindset, and down-to-earth - Great writer and communicator - Research experience in state and local government (preferred but not required) - Survey research experience (preferred but not required) - Startup experience (preferred but not required) **Timeline** Applications will be reviewed as received and continue until the position is filled. **How to Apply** Please email your resume and cover letter to the Managing Director, Nathan Lee, [log in to unmask] with the email subject line, “Research Director Application.” *CivicPulse provides a team-based environment, and we value the benefits of a diversified staff and workplace.
