About this position
George Washington University and NIST are seeking a PREP Research Associate for the Hurricane Maria and Community Resilience Programs, focused on measuring recovery in Puerto Rico after catastrophic hurricanes.
This opportunity centers on disaster recovery, community resilience, and social infrastructure, with a specific emphasis on K-12 schools and hospitals affected by Hurricanes Maria and Fiona. The researcher will analyze how households, businesses, and essential social functions interact during long-term recovery, helping shape standardized approaches to measuring disaster impacts across the United States.
The role is especially suited to a master's-level social scientist with training in geography, sociology, or a related field. The post highlights the need for 3+ years of research experience in organizational resilience or hazard impacts, along with strong quantitative and qualitative mixed-methods skills.
Responsibilities include data analysis, technical writing for narrative reports and publications, instrument design for surveys and interviews, and regulatory support for IRB and OMB Paperwork Reduction Act approvals. The work is interdisciplinary and bridges social science methods with community resilience engineering.
