APPLIED RESEARCH / CRIMINAL JUSTICE RESEARCH ANALYST
SANDAG’s Applied Research Division provides technical support to the region’s policymakers, agency leaders, and service providers by evaluating data and making recommendations that lead to informed decisions and increased program effectiveness. Examples of recent and upcoming projects include evaluations and cost/benefit analyses of services provided to ex-offenders that lead to lower rates of recidivism; partnering with local law enforcement agencies to document and evaluate effectiveness of efforts aimed at reducing gang- and gun-related crimes in the San Diego region; surveying the region’s residents to get public input into the upcoming Regional Transportation Plan (RTP); and creating performance measures to evaluate policies and efforts aimed at reducing family homelessness. Results of such research studies and evaluations are shared with decision-makers and stakeholders on a regular basis and lead to more informed decisions about investments in funding, resources, and programs that will have the greatest positive impact on the San Diego region.
As part of the 16-person Applied Research/Criminal Justice Research Division, the Research Analyst will assist with the design, implementation, and analysis of various studies that support a broad range of agency projects, programs, and policy initiatives in the areas of criminal justice, public safety and health, transportation, land-use planning, economics, and demographics.
Three positions currently are available – these are limited term employment opportunities. Two positions will work on research efforts related to criminal justice and public safety projects. The third position will have an emphasis on regional transportation, land-use, and demographics studies that support numerous agency programs and projects. The positions will be funded for one to two year periods depending on resource needs for projects. Limited Term Employees are considered to be “at-will” and receive many of the benefits of regular employees.
Qualifications include a bachelor’s degree with major course work in in criminology, sociology, regional planning, demography, economics, or a related field, and one to three years of data compilation and/or research experience, preferably in an applied research environment.
SANDAG rewards the efforts of its employees with a comprehensive compensation package. Competitive salaries are supplemented with a flexible and generous offering of health, financial security, and time-off benefits to meet the work and life needs of employees and their families.
