carry out rigorous analyses and interpretation of results.

Remain up-to-date on advances in educational measurement, the

college and career readiness and success literature, and validity research methods and approaches.

Mentor junior staff members by reviewing analyses, providing

methodological guidance, collaborating on impactful research ideas, and supporting high-quality research outputs.

Serve as the primary analyst for many of the Digital SAT validity

studies, including core placement, retention, completion, STEM outcomes, subgroup analyses, and institutional patterns.

Conduct updated analysis and review of SAT Suite College & Career

Readiness Benchmarks.

Strong knowledge of educational measurement and psychometrics; well-versed in test validity; knowledgeable about college outcomes as well as career/workforce outcomes

Excellent data coding, manipulation, and analysis skills; hands-on coding expertise in Python, R or SAS with a track record of producing analyses, rather than relying on others to execute core statistical work.
