Postdoctoral Scholar in Research Translation and Evidence-Informed Policy Penn State University in United States

Two opportunities are being shared for the Research Translation Platform: a Postdoctoral Scholar and a Part-Time Research Data Analyst (master's degree or higher). The roles sit at the intersection of research translation, public policy, evidence-informed policymaking, and public impact.

The post highlights work supporting the evaluation of strategies that connect scientific research with decision-makers. This suggests a strong fit for candidates with interests in applied policy research, program evaluation, quantitative analysis, and social science methods. The data analyst role is especially relevant for applicants with a master's degree or higher and experience handling research data, analysis, or evaluation tasks.

Positions are remote with some in-person travel required. Preference will be given to applicants located in, or willing to relocate to, the DMV area (DC, Maryland, Virginia). The post says the team hopes to fill these roles this summer.

The announcer is Michael W. Donovan, Associate Director of the Evidence-to-Impact Collaborative and Assistant Research Professor of Social Science & Public Policy at Georgetown University. The post links to the relevant Workday application pages for both openings.
