Analyst

ANALYST

 

Job Responsibilities:

 



The successful candidate will become part of an interdisciplinary team

conducting research in support of a variety of national-level

environmental policy programs. Specific projects encompass green

chemistry, pollution prevention analyses, innovative/voluntary programs,

and policy analysis. The successful candidate will carry out research,

literature searches, and statistical and other quantitative analyses

using databases and spreadsheets to support these projects. The candidate

also will assist in the preparation of documents, options papers, web

sites, and other materials for use by senior environmental managers and

provide proposal and other administrative support.





Skill Prerequisites:



Ideally, we?re seeking candidates with a Master?s degree in a policy

concentration, preferably in environmental policy or public health, but

who also have a strong background and undergraduate degree in chemistry,

organic chemistry, or biochemistry. This is not a laboratory research

position, as Abt Associates does not carry out laboratory research,

analyses, or assays. We seek candidates with a strong interest in

domestic U.S. environmental policy, who want to be involved in policy

formulation (regulatory policy formulation affecting human health risks

with regard to clean air, clean water, pollution, hazardous waste,

toxics, etc.), and who have excellent writing abilities and strong

quantitative and computer skills. Knowledge of USEPA, state, and local

environmental programs is desirable.
