CIRCLE Seeks Researcher
Although CIRCLE studies civic development and engagement of all youth, the central focus of its work is on expanding access to civic learning and engagement opportunities especially for marginalized youth from various backgrounds. As part of this position, the new Senior Researcher will directly support the National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement (NSLVE), a signature project which is both a service to higher education institutions – providing colleges/universities with institution-level data on their students' registration and voting – and a national database for research with over 10 million college students each election year. NSLVE currently includes over 1,200 campuses from across the country.
