Poverty
Action Lab (J-PAL North America), based in the department of economics at
MIT leads J-PAL’s work in the North America region by
conducting randomized evaluations, building partnerships for evidence-informed
policymaking, and helping partners scale up effective programs to reduce
poverty. Our work spans a wide range of sectors including health care, housing,
criminal justice, education, and economic mobility, among others.
We are currently hiring for a variety of open roles, all with an
application deadline of December 3, 2018. Job descriptions with instructions on
how to apply are linked below. J-PAL North America values the strength that
diverse teams bring to this work. We actively welcome applicants who come from
backgrounds that reflect populations most impacted by poverty and from
backgrounds that are underrepresented in the economics field.
