The Strategic Data Project (SDP) housed at the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University partners with education organizations across the United States to bring high quality research methods and data analysis to bear on strategic management and policy decisions. A key part of this work is the SDP Fellowship. SDP Fellows are entrepreneurial change agents who are tenaciously dedicated to transforming how key policy and management decisions are made in public education. Fellows help partner agencies break through strategic issues that benefit from robust analysis. They also provide needed analytic talent and support to other projects in the agency. Upon acceptance to the program, Fellows are immediately placed in full-time analytic leadership roles reporting to a cabinet-level position (e.g. Chief of Data and Accountability, Chief Academic Officer or other top executives) within the organization. As a group, SDP Fellows will form a network of data strategists committed to impacting education reform through research and data.

Requirements include an advanced degree (Master's level or higher), strong quantitative / analytic skills, 3+ years of work experience, and a demonstrated passion for education reform. Submit a resume and cover letter to sdprecruitment@gse.harvard.edu. Applications are evaluated on a rolling basis.
