Come work with Oregon’s Legislative Policy and Research Office (LPRO)! Our mission is to provide professional nonpartisan staffing, analysis, and research that supports and informs the policymaking process. The LPRO team is a collaborative group of colleagues who spur one another on to excellence and support each other’s success. We take pride in serving all of Oregon’s 90 legislators and the people of the state well.

This recruitment is for a Research Analyst who will work closely with the rest of the LPRO team to provide high quality research, including data analysis, presentation of findings, and data visualizations, to support decisionmakers in the legislative branch. As an expert at research methods, we also look forward to this analyst developing and presenting training to the LPRO team to strengthen our overall skills in research.

This is a new position, and the successful applicant will have a hand in shaping the research arm of LPRO. We are seeking someone who is a capable researcher, able to produce thorough and accurate results in short timeframes required by legislators, and skilled at communicating verbally and in writing. Our ideal candidate will have experience with and an understanding of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches to research.

The work of the Research Analyst allows for a hybrid work schedule (partly on-site, partly telework) dependent on time of year. During legislative sessions, LPRO employees typically work on-site to serve the assembly and staff. However, the Research Analyst position has flexibility for telework depending on work assignments and legislative needs. When the legislature is not in session, this position is eligible for teleworking and a flexible work schedule.

We encourage you to explore the position description provided to determine if your education and work history are comparable to those listed.  If so, and you are ready to engage in shaping and instituting this exciting new position, please apply.
