Do you want to make a measurable difference in education? The Harvard Strategic Data Project (SDP) seeks future education data leaders to work directly within our PK12 and Postsecondary partner education agencies to execute on key analytic projects, with support and resources from our network. SDP Fellows are placed within school systems, education nonprofits, and/or postsecondary intermediary institutions as full-time employees where they execute on an analytic project commissioned by their placement and receive training, resources, and support during the two-year Fellowship program. To date, SDP has partnered with more than 200 education organizations and has trained more than 450 SDP fellows.
The application will close at 9am ET on Wednesday, June 1. Learn more about the Fellowship and the selection process at https://sdp.cepr.harvard.edu/become-fellow/ or begin your application at https://bit.ly/SDPapp22.

To be eligible, candidates must have a minimum of 3 years of full-time work experience, a masters or PhD by summer 2022, and demonstrate a strong quantitative skillset. SDP Fellows are good communicators, problem-solvers, and care deeply about transforming the use of data to improve student outcomes. We regret that SDP cannot provide visa sponsorship.
