About The Position

The Workforce Intelligence Lab (WIL) is seeking a Senior Program Evaluator in criminal justice to serve as principal investigator on proposals for process, outcome, and impact evaluations of justice programs. The work may include research on drones as first responders, gangs and organized crime, and elder abuse and neglect. Responsibilities include leading data collection with justice agencies using administrative records and fieldwork; overseeing analysis, human-subjects protections, and data security; and writing research narratives, methods, and dissemination plans. The collaborator may contribute qualifications and past-performance information to WIL proposals only with authorization to be named.

This is a contingent proposal opportunity within WIL's expert collaborator network, not a funded vacancy. WIL is preparing a competitive grant application; no award has been made, and work or funding is not guaranteed. If an award proceeds and the staffing model calls for it, WIL may offer a project-based contract or consulting engagement. The work is described as remote in the United States.

• Peer-reviewed publications or major evaluation reports in criminology or justice policy.

• PhD preferred in criminology, criminal justice, sociology, or a related field.
• Prior federal justice research award as PI or co-PI.
• Randomized or quasi-experimental evaluation experience.

Responsibilities

• Serve as principal investigator on criminal justice research and evaluation proposals.
• Design rigorous process, outcome, and impact evaluations of justice programs.
