Changing systems steeped in racial and economic disparities requires a diverse team. The American child welfare system has a history of disproportionately impacting families of color, low-income communities, and LGBTQ youth. As an organization that seeks to reform that system, we want a staff that reflects diverse backgrounds, experiences, and cultures. In our approach to research, we aim to raise up the voices of those affected by the child welfare system. We reflect this principle in how we build our team. We are committed to inclusion, and we embrace diversity as an organization. 

We offer salary and benefits competitive with high-quality research organizations, including the following for full-time staff: 

• Comprehensive health insurance, including medical and dental 

• Retirement savings plan with employer contributions 

• Profit-sharing plan 

• Annual education benefit 

• Generous paid time off policy 

• Regular professional development goal planning meetings
