The Annenberg Institute is seeking a postdoctoral research associate for a two‐year fellowship (one-year renewable) to join a diverse community of scholars committed to educational equity and improvement. The post-doctoral associate will participate in collaborative research activities with our affiliated faculty, including Jesse Bruhn, Margot Jackson, Matthew Kraft, Susanna Loeb, Lindsay Page, John Papay and others, on issues related to US PK-16 education policy.
