Center on Philanthropy position, Indiana University - application review begins March 15, 2011

by Jessica Matteson

From Matt Baggetta... Jessica, I hope all is well in snowy Boston. For folks on the market, I just got word of a new open search in Philanthropic Studies at IUPUI (see attached). I took a look at the "PhDs on the Market" page and no one jumped out at me as a perfect fit based on dissertation titles, but anyone whose past research (and future plans) includes studying nonprofit organizations, civil society, voluntary associations, and the like would certainly fit the "broad definition" that the Center uses (as evidence: I'm a faculty affiliate at the Center now).

Tobin Project- full-time Research Analyst

by Sociology Information

I'm emailing from The Tobin Project, a well-funded, non-profit, non-partisan organization located in Cambridge, Massachusetts that works at the nexus of academia and public policy. We have a research analyst position that will be open beginning in Late Spring/Summer 2011, and I was hoping that you could circulate this email to students or alumni that you think might be interested. I've listed a short description of the opportunity below and have also attached a document that includes the full job description and application instructions.The application deadline is *March 1, 2011*. Thank you for sharing this, and please don't hesitate to be in touch if you have any questions. *Full-Time Research Analyst Opportunity* The Tobin Project is currently seeking a full-time Research Analyst to work within and across our three domestic program areas: Government & Markets, Institutions of Democracy, and Economic Inequality. Research analysts work as part of a high-performing team to identify promising topics for research, design and organize opportunities for scholars and policymakers to collaborate, and explore innovations that could spur and disseminate new policy-relevant research. As part of their work, analysts frequently enter into dialogue with top scholars and policymakers about some of the nation's most pressing societal challenges. Research analysts develop competencies in research, project design and coordination, organizational strategy, and external communications. Research Analyst responsibilities will be especially stimulating and suitable for individuals considering future careers in academia or in the public policy arena. Past analysts have gone on to top ranked graduate programs in the social sciences and business. The ideal candidate will have a bachelor's or master's degree in a behavioral or social science and a strong commitment to using scholarly research to inform public policy. *About the Tobin Project* Only six years old, Tobin has successfully built and proven the model for how to engage a network of top scholars and policymakers on vital questions; how to advance new interdisciplinary research agendas; and how to disseminate compelling ideas that have the potential to reshape academic research, public policy formation, and overall public discourse. Tobin has organized a series of highly productive conferences, seminars, and workshops; seeded groundbreaking new research; created a collaborative online technology platform for scholars; produced several books across our program areas; and influenced key aspects of financial regulatory reform on consumer protection and systemic risk. The Project is energized by its impact to date, and by its potential to change---and improve---fundamental ideas about the interplay between democratic government and markets. -- Katie Nihill The Tobin Project p: 617-547-2600 f: 617-547-2601 Tobin Project, Inc. is a non-partisan organization recognized as a public charity under Sections 501(c)(3) and 509(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.
