INTRODUCTION

The Institute for Municipal and Regional Policy (IMRP) in the School of Public Policy at the University of Connecticut seeks applicants for an Assistant Research Professor at the UConn Hartford Campus. Area of specialization is open. This is an exciting opportunity for an early career scholar seeking to make an impact in a dynamic policy research environment.

The Institute for Municipal and Regional Policy (IMRP) is a non-partisan, University-based organization dedicated to enriching the quality of local, state, and national public policy. The IMRP aspires to be a respected and visible presence throughout the State of Connecticut, known for its ability to promote, develop, and implement just, effective public policy. The IMRP accomplishes this through a variety of targeted approaches such as: public education and dialogue; published reports, articles, and policy papers; pilot program design, implementation, and oversight; and the facilitation of collaborations between the University, government, private organizations, and the general community. In doing so the IMRP bridges the divide between academia, policymakers, practitioners, and the community.

Under the direction of the Director of Research, the Assistant Research Professor will be responsible for developing technical reports, policy briefs and academic research papers related to IMRP projects, as well as assisting in the creation of new research opportunities. The Assistant Research Professor will also hold a non-tenured research faculty position in the School of Public Policy and will be given the option of teaching an undergraduate or graduate course in the School of Public Policy. In the capacity linked to their faculty appointment (re-teaching or assigned SPP service), they will report to the Director of the School of Public Policy. The Assistant Research Professor is also expected to attend faculty meetings in the School of Public Policy.

The primary focus of this position is on the design, organization, implementation, and management of the project-based research of the IMRP. The successful candidate will be responsible for assisting with a diverse range of projects and assisting with the day-to-day research activities of these projects. The successful candidate will also contribute to the Children with Incarcerated Parents Initiative, the Racial Profiling Prohibition Project, the International Justice Exchange, the Sentencing Commission, and other projects as assigned by the Director of Research in consultation with the IMRP Director and IMRP project managers.
