Researcher
Research fellow job in Chicago, IL
The Cook County Treasurer's Office is seeking a researcher who is a rigorous, critical and creative thinker to join the office's research department. The department, established in early 2021, produces analyses and in-depth studies of Illinois' property tax system. It is led by a former Chicago Tribune investigative reporter. The department has published several studies that exposed entrenched inequities that have prevented Black and Latino communities from building generational wealth. Two of the studies led to the enactment of Illinois' biggest property tax reform bill in decades.

Annual analyses of property tax collection rates
Further studies will expand on all of that work and explore other aspects of the Illinois property tax system, with the aim of developing further proposals to make the system more affordable, fair and equitable.
The researcher will help formulate future studies and conduct primary and secondary research, which often involves exhaustive research on property tax policies, initiatives and theory, as well as gathering, cleaning and analyzing data. The researcher also will help prepare the studies for publication.
Key Responsibilities and Duties
Under the direction and guidance of the Director of Research, the researcher is responsible for the following:
Work with staff to formulate and execute studies of the property tax system
Conduct primary and secondary research of property tax systems across the globe
Conduct data analyses
Help produce clear, straightforward analyses, studies and recommendations that combine narrative and data visualizations
Knowledge, Skills and Abilities
Accomplished research skills
Strong writing skills
Commitment to thoroughness, accuracy, quality and integrity
Strong interpersonal, communication and collaboration skills
Experience with complex research, analysis and presentation
Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and various data applications
