About The Position
To help support our research and evaluation efforts, the New York State Youth Justice Institute (YJI) is seeking to hire a Research Associate. The incumbent will work on myriad impactful, funded projects with a focus on evaluation and participatory research. The YJI's work focuses on providing training, technical assistance, research, and evaluation support to youth justice-related state agencies, local partners, and others who provide direct services to youth under 25. Our approach to justice encompasses the continuum of care (from prevention to reentry), is rooted in racial/ethnicity, gender, ability, and geographic equity, and honors youth voices. Our team's expertise draws on trained social scientists and data scientists from diverse academic backgrounds; practitioners with experience in multiple fields and systems that impact youth; and professionals with lived expertise in the justice system. Established in 2017, the YJI is a partnership between the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services and the University at Albany. Housed on the University's downtown campus, the YJI is institutionally situated within the Division for Research and Economic Development, is led by an Executive Director, and has grown exponentially in recent years.
