Hiring Research Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School of Government's Center for Public Leadership Professor Todd Rogers is hiring at least one full-time Research Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School of Government's Center for Public Leadership. The Research Fellow will work with Professor Rogers and his team in the Student Social Support R&D Lab on projects at the intersection of education, psychology, judgment and decision-making, and behavioral economics. The Research Fellows will work primarily on the management and implementation of randomized field experiments in schools and colleges. The experiments aim to shed light on the cognitive, motivational, and social barriers to student achievement, and to develop low-cost scalable interventions that are informed by behavioral science. Most of the research projects explore the impact on student achievement of mobilizing the support of students' family and friends. This education research takes place in a range of educational settings including K-12 schools and districts, online universities, state and community colleges', test prep programs, and MOOCs.
