Position Description:
The California Policy Lab creates data-driven insights for the public good. Our mission is to partner with California’s state and local governments to generate scientific evidence that solves California’s most urgent problems, including homelessness, unemployment, poverty, crime, and education inequality. We facilitate close partnerships between policymakers and researchers at UCLA and UC Berkeley to help evaluate and improve public programs through empirical research and technical assistance.
The California Policy Lab is seeking a Research Manager with significant project management experience and interest/expertise in topics related to labor economics. The Research Manager will contribute to our organization’s proven track record of bridging the gap between academic researchers and government policymakers at the local level in Los Angeles, and at the state level in California. Our unparalleled access to administrative microdata on earnings, employment, job training initiatives, and the safety net programs will be used to help inform policymaker responses.
The Research Manager will be the day-to-day lead on multiple CPL research collaborations between UCLA faculty and policymakers across the state of California. In this capacity, the Research Manager will be responsible for managing all aspects of our engagement, including developing and managing relationships with government partners; representing CPL at events and to external stakeholders; writing reports and presentations; overall project management, preparing grant applications; and developing other policy-relevant deliverables. Additionally, he or she will work with CPL’s data analysts to implement rigorously designed research projects, including randomized control trials (RCTs), other non-experimental designs, and predictive analytics.
The successful candidate will be an experienced project manager, capable of acting as the main point of contact between CPL and key external stakeholders, and knowledgeable about the design and analysis of research experiments. He or she will be passionate about leveraging research partnerships to find innovative solutions to labor market problems facing California policymakers and citizens.
