The Role in Brief:
Research Associate
EAB is the leading global provider of research and advice to higher education and K-12 institutions, working with more than 2,500 colleges, universities, and school districts in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. EAB’s research programs offer strategic guidance at scale: we help education executives make progress on their most pressing issues. We support executives at client organizations to educate stakeholders, make research-informed decisions, and speed implementation of industry best practices.
We are looking for a motivated and intellectually curious individual to join the EAB Research team. At EAB, Research Associates work on one of three short-term research teams:
- Our K-12 Team responds to client inquiries and investigates specific client questions on issues facing public and independent schools. Sample inquiries include topics like increasing equity in accelerated math pathways, full-day pre-K programs, and district program evaluation.
- Our Market Insights & Audits Team creates data-driven deliverables that advise clients on college and university strategy and actions. One series of reports enables clients to assess job market trends, align curriculum with employer and student demand, and identify opportunities for program development and revitalization. This team also audits client’s websites, strategic plans, and prospective student experience to elevate content and improve user experience.
- Our Higher Ed Team uses EAB’s 10+ years of research to best answer client inquiries. This team also creates data and insights driven deliverables to help clients make decisions and expedite key initiatives. Common projects include quick-turnaround primary and secondary research to support topics like international student services and equity in college admissions.
All teams’ work involves a balance of quick turnaround and longer (e.g., six week) research assignments, requiring a mix of qualitative and quantitative research as well as application of existing EAB research to individual client questions. Team placement is determined by business need at time of hire. This role is based in Washington, D.C., and we have embraced a hybrid work model with Associates coming into the office once per week.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Participate in team meetings and meetings with other EAB staff to best answer client questions, connect clients to EAB experts, and drive impact at client institutions
- Investigate specific client inquiries using EAB and secondary research sources
- Manage multiple processes and projects simultaneously, delivering excellent service and results on time
- Produce high volume of high-quality deliverables that highlight research-driven insights and are error-free and consistent with EAB’s style and point of view
Occasional travel (e.g., 1-2 times/year) will be requested on a voluntary basis. Employees in this role who do not wish to travel will not be required to do so.
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s Degree, with an excellent academic record
- Managing multiple projects with various deadlines
- Experience with at least two of the following:
- Conducting primary and secondary research
- Demonstrated excellence in written and oral communication
- Writing in-depth reports in a professional setting
- Researching business issues
- Minimum of 3 months of work or internship experience
Ideal Qualifications:
- Demonstrated interest in higher education or K-12 education, as shown through coursework, research, or professional experience
- Experience managing time and meeting deadlines across multiple priorities
- Demonstrated ability to work autonomously
- Experience with solution-focused problem solving
- Proven ability to take initiative on projects
- Commitment to valuing diversity, practicing inclusive behaviors, and contributing to an equitable working and continual learning environment in support of EAB’s DE&I Promise
- Proven ability to communicate effectively with senior executives, in both oral and written formats
If you’ve reached this section of the job description and are unsure of whether to apply, please do! At EAB, we welcome diversity of background and experience. We would encourage you to submit an application if this is a role you would be passionate about doing every day.
Benefits:
Consistent with our belief that our employees are our most valuable resource, EAB offers a competitive and inclusive benefits package.
- Wellness programs including gym discounts and incentives to promote healthy living
- Infertility treatment coverage and adoption or surrogacy assistance
- Paid parental leave for birthing and non-birthing parents
- 20+ days of PTO annually, in addition to paid firm holidays
- Daytime leave policy for community service or fitness activities (up to 10 hours a month each)
- Phase Back to Work program for employees returning from parental leave
- 401(k) retirement plan with company match
- Benefits kick in day one, see the full details here.
- Dynamic growth opportunities with merit-based promotion philosophy
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance; dependents and domestic partners eligible
At EAB, we believe that to fulfill our mission to “make education smarter and our communities stronger” we need team members who bring a diversity of perspectives to the table and are committed to fostering a workplace where each team member is valued, respected and heard.
To that end, EAB is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and we make employment decisions on the basis of qualifications, merit and business need. We don’t discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, non-disqualifying physical or mental disability, national origin, veteran status or any other basis covered by appropriate law.
