US Federal Data Fellowship: Strategic Data Project at Harvard University

The Strategic Data Project (SDP), an initiative of the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University, is offering a one-year Senior Data Fellow position starting in the summer of 2021. The fellow will work at a US Federal Agency in Washington, DC and engage in research projects related to the department's focus. Federal research leaders are working to realize the potential of previously untapped data collected across multiple federal agencies. To carry out the work of bringing together new data sets and tools and publishing novel insights, SDP will host the inaugural cohort of post-doctoral and senior level data fellows to work with federally collected education data and to connect those data across departments to generate new insights about the health, well-being, and achievement of students. The Senior Data Fellow will have the opportunity to work with Harvard faculty advisors focused on education policy research, such as Tom Kane and Chris Avery.
