Public Policy Institute of California

Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

Research fellows at the Public Policy Institute of California contribute directly to PPIC’s mission by using their strong quantitative and analytical skills to create and communicate knowledge, informing California’s policymaking processes through independent, objective, nonpartisan research.

PPIC is currently recruiting four research fellows, each with substantive knowledge and interest in one of these areas: Corrections and Criminal Justice, K-12 Education, Health and Human Services, and Public Finance.

Successful candidates will bring the ability to independently conduct policy research through outstanding quantitative research, qualitative research, writing, external policy engagement, and communications, and will bring a Ph.D. in criminology, demography, economics, education policy, health policy, political science, public policy, sociology, or a related discipline. Applications from candidates at all levels of experience are welcomed, from recent Ph.D.’s through senior level researchers. A background in California policy research is an advantage, as is research experience on federal policy or on other states’ policy that is relevant to the California context.

PPIC offers a collaborative, intellectually stimulating, impactful work environment and competitive compensation and benefits. The positions are based in San Francisco or Sacramento.
