Verify the sender before replying or clicking on links and attachments. * AAPOR community, KFF has a job opening for a Research Assistant position on our Public Opinion and Survey Research team. Who we are: KFF is the independent source of health policy research, polling, and news. The Public Opinion and Survey Research team plays a central role in KFF’s work by undertaking original research on the public's attitudes, beliefs, and experiences related to health policy and other issues including racial equity, democracy, and economic issues. Working independently or in partnership with major media organizations like The Washington Post and CNN, the group examines Americans' opinions on major policy challenges, focusing specifically on health care issues, in order to amplify the public's voice in national debates. Our polling work includes a focus on representing historically marginalized communities such as racial and ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ populations, lower-income individuals, and people without health insurance. Who you are: The successful candidate will have a strong interest in American politics and be interested in analyzing survey data to provide unique insights into elections and other aspects of politics and public policy today. The Research Assistant will participate in various aspects of polling work, including assisting with background research, questionnaire design, analysis of survey data, and preparation of graphics and written reports. The successful candidate will have strong quantitative and data visualization skills, experience with public opinion surveys, and an ability to manage multiple responsibilities simultaneously under tight deadlines. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate or someone with 1-2 years of work experience to hone their survey research skills with an experienced and well-respected team of public opinion researchers. I would appreciate if you would share this with anyone who you think might be interested or who might know someone who could be interested. The KFF team will also be at the AAPOR conference and be willing to chat about this opportunity. We are accepting applications at https://www.kff.org/employment-opportunities/.
