technical assistance and programs to educators, industry, and
governments, and engages issues that directly affect the living
standards of New Jersey´s and the nation´s working families.

and work, broadly defined.   The position requires rigorous training
in multiple research methodologies - considerable experience with
quantitative research design and analysis is required; some
familiarity with qualitative techniques and evaluation research is
also desirable.   The successful applicant will have experience
working with large labor force and social science datasets, and will
have (or be able to develop) a successful program of externally funded
research.  Strong writing skills and a track record of publication in
academic and policy outlets are also required.

    The position will be in a non-tenure track faculty line, with an
annual appointment renewable contingent on successful performance and
budgetary support.
