This position will work closely with a faculty manager, who will provide substantive and methodological guidance as needed. We expect the successful candidate to bring robust foundational skills and demonstrated experience applying advanced methods commonly used in large-scale education research (for example, multilevel and growth models, structural equation models, and IRT), and to be comfortable deepening and extending that expertise through self-directed learning and targeted collaboration with faculty.

Experience with additional statistical programming languages (such as R or Python), along with a demonstrated ability to consult documentation, learn new tools, and adapt code examples from external sources to address novel analytic questions, is also highly valued. This role is ideal for a candidate who combines solid statistical training with strong data engineering instincts, intellectual curiosity, and a commitment to supporting large, statewide education initiatives that directly impact children, educators, and systems across Texas.
