new york city, United States Asian American Federation Full time

Location and Reporting:

This is a hybrid role reporting to AAF's Wall Street office and will be required to be in the office 2 days a week. Special events or convenings may require this person to work on occasional weeknights/weekends.


About Us:

Founded in 1989, the Asian American Federation (AAF) is one of the strongest leadership voices advocating for better policies, services, and funding that lead to more justice and opportunity for Asian immigrants, one of New York City's poorest and underserved communities. As an umbrella leadership organization, we represent 70 community-based organizations serving 1.5 million Asian New Yorkers, the fastest-growing population in the city.


About the Opportunity: 

This is a unique opportunity for a highly motivated, energetic, and policy-oriented individual to work on a number of AAF’s research and community organizing projects focused on the Asian American community. The individual will support a variety of research projects that support AAF’s policy priorities on immigration, mental health, seniors, nonprofit support, and 2020 Census. These projects will be used to inform policy makers, community organizations, and other stakeholders on the state of the Asian American community.

This is an ideal role for recent graduate students looking to gain exposure to policy research work at a nonprofit organization.


What You’ll Do:

As the Research Associate, responsibilities will include, but are not exclusive to:


Data Collection & Analysis

  • Create content for demographic profiles and reports, including compiling data; creating graphs, tables, and maps; writing reports; and designing report layouts
  • Obtain and process administrative data sets for use in research analyses
  • Analyze data products from the U.S. Census Bureau and other relevant data on Asian Americans
  • Provide customized data and mapping services.
  • Collect and interpret data from governmental and community-based institutions.
  • Collect and organize survey/focus group data.
  • Respond to general requests for data on Asian Americans, especially covering the New York metropolitan area.
  • Organize a user-friendly data management system for Federation CIC.


Research Support

  • Promote and facilitate Federation research products, including studies and data requests.
  • Contribute to the writing of research reports and publications.
  • Conduct interviews with key study informants and stakeholders.
  • Review relevant literature and provide the team with summaries, as needed.


Why Work with Us:



Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree required; recent graduate student in public policy, social research, or demography preferred
  • All new hires must be vaccinated and must stay up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccines unless they have been granted a reasonable accommodation for religion or disability. If you are offered a position with AAF, this requirement must be met by your date of hire, unless a reasonable accommodation for exemption is received and approved by AAF.
  • Knowledge of statistical analysis software (i.e. Stata, R, SQL or Tableau) and geographic analysis software (i.e. ArcGIS, QGIS, mapbox)
  • Experience working with data products from the U.S. Census Bureau is a plus (i.e. American Community Survey, decennial census)
  • Background in public policy, public administration, data-driven projects, community organizing, immigration, and/or working with marginalized groups a plus


Compensation & Benefits: 

The starting salary is $59,000 to $61,000 annually, commensurate with experience. Comprehensive benefits package includes generous paid time off, health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, as well as a 403(b) plan.


To uphold organizational parity and pay equity, AAF will use a non-negotiable salary structure that takes into consideration the entire breadth of a candidate’s experience, employment, and education to arrive at their base salary.


The Asian American Federation is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
