[Jobs] Colorado Education Association

[Leora Lawton]

Posting the job description below on behalf of a colleague at CEA. I've
done some work with members of their data team in the past, and think this
could be a good place for a talented up-and-coming researcher to get
involved in a variety of projects and have an immediate impact.

The position is based out of their headquarters in Denver, but they're open
to helping with relocation costs for the right person. See
http://www.linkedin.com/jobs2/view/11213052?trk=job_nov for additional
information. Feel free to get in touch with me directly as well---though
I'm not involved in the process, I'm happy to answer any questions I can.

Best,
Andrew
