Research Scientist (Physics)

Vera Institute of Justice

<div><div>Who we are:

The Vera Institute of Justice is powered by hundreds of advocates, researchers, and policy experts working to transform the criminal legal and immigration systems until they're fair for all. Founded in 1961 to advocate for alternatives to money bail in New York City, Vera is now a national organization that partners with impacted communities and government leaders for change. We develop just, antiracist solutions so that money doesn't determine freedom; fewer people are in jails, prisons, and immigration detention; and everyone is treated with dignity. For more information, visit vera.org.

Vera has a staff of 216 people, is headquartered in Brooklyn, New York and has offices in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and New Orleans. We are an equal opportunity employer with a commitment to diversity in the workplace. We expect our staff to embody respect, independence, collaboration, commitment, anti-racism, and equity&mdash;both in our outward-facing work and the internal culture of our workplace. We value a range of experiences in people's educational backgrounds and encourage people who have been directly impacted by the criminal justice system to apply.</div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
About the team:</h3>

The Reshaping Prosecution (RP) initiative is dedicated to transforming what it means to be a prosecutor by focusing on the dignity of all people impacted by the criminal justice system. Prosecutors play a critical, but often hidden, role in mass incarceration as one of the most powerful actors in the criminal justice system. They decide who to charge (or not charge) with a crime, what crime to charge, whether to ask that a person sit in jail pending trial, and what sentence to ask for upon conviction (or what alternative remedies to pursue in lieu of prosecution or conviction). Yet, despite this immense power, prosecutors have largely not been the focus of criminal justice reform efforts until recently. Our team helps prosecutors across the country and the communities they serve work to shrink the front end of the system, pursue racial equity, and increase transparency.

The Senior Research Associate will lead applied quantitative research efforts with selected prosecutors' offices around the country. Core to that work is the analysis of data from prosecutors' administrative case management systems and from community-based organizations that are conducting diversion programs in partnership with those offices. To successfully carry out that core responsibility, the Senior Research Associate should be experienced and comfortable with: making administrative data requests of government agencies and non-governmental organizations or non-profits; managing data construction and data delivery with partners who may not have the relevant expertise to assess data needs or data quality; compiling, cleaning, and documenting what are often disparate, disconnected, or sometimes only semi-structured data files into master datasets for analysis, as well as managing updates to those master datasets as new data become available or necessary; and developing thoughtful analyses of that data through the production of discipline-relevant metrics, univariate, bivariate, and multivariate statistics, and conveying that information effectively to non-researchers. The Senior Research Associate will work on a team of researchers and former prosecutors and public defenders to build a comprehensive understanding of prosecution within a community, using data from district attorneys' offices and diversion program providers to spur policy changes that help shrink the front end of the criminal legal system. 
 
The Senior Research Associate will also provide technical assistance to prosecutors' offices and community-based organizations leading diversion programming to improve their fluency with, and ability to use, data in their criminal justice reform efforts. The Senior Research Associate will contribute to efforts to expand the visibility of prosecutor and community research, including the development and delivery of new products, trainings, convenings, and presentations. They will assume a leadership role within the Reshaping Prosecution research team&mdash;hiring, training, and developing junior researchers&mdash;and will report directly to the Associate Director of Research.
