Interested in contributing to our mission of advancing immigration policy worldwide? Read on for more details about our new position.
The Immigration Policy Lab (IPL) at Stanford University designs and evaluates policies to advance the integration of immigrants and refugees worldwide. By producing new evidence and translating it into creative solutions, we seek to improve refugees’ and immigrants’ opportunities and strengthen their host communities.
Using new data and cutting-edge analytical tools, we bring evidence to bear on the urgent problems facing immigrants, refugees, and their service providers. We engage with community-based organizations as well as local, state, national, and international government agencies to test the effectiveness of current policies. In addition, we co-design new policies, programs, and tools that ultimately affect millions of immigrants, as well as increase the economic and social prosperity of the communities in which they live. Our talented team of faculty, professional staff, postdocs, and students has created a research model that combines the quality and rigor of an academic lab with the efficiency and innovation of a civic-tech startup.
We are looking for a full-time Finance and Operations Associate who will provide finance and administrative support to IPL and to specific research portfolios. Reporting to the Executive Director, the Finance and Operations Associate will manage the day-to-day operations of the lab and perform a range of coordination, financial management, and research and lab administrative functions. The Finance and Operations Associate will work closely with faculty, postdocs, and staff to support the work of the lab, including assisting in the management of research protocols, in coordination with departments and administrative units across the university. We are looking for candidates who have exceptional organizational skills, are detail-oriented, and are eager to support a growing policy and social science lab with a diverse international research portfolio focused on refugees and asylum-seekers.
This is a 100% FTE, 2 year fixed term, non-exempt position. This position will be based on the Stanford campus at least two days per week and will be considered for an option of telecommuting (hybrid of working on-site and off-site), subject to operational need.
