The FrameWorks Institute is an action-oriented think tank for progressive movements.
We conduct cutting-edge social science research to understand how to change the way people think, feel, and act. We engage with partners who can mobilize this research to build power around progressive solutions.
We believe framing is critical to making cultural and systemic change. That’s why we’re building a unique, integrated team of multidisciplinary researchers and real-world change-makers.
This is an exciting time to join FrameWorks. And we want you to be a part of it.
About the position: Researcher or Senior Researcher (depending on qualifications)
The Researcher or Senior Researcher will participate in research to understand the cultural mindsets that people use to understand social issues and to develop and test frames to shift thinking in ways that enable progressive change. The Researcher/Senior Researcher will contribute to projects across issues but will focus on a specific issue area (e.g., health equity, economic justice, children and families). This includes working across all the methods of Strategic Frame Analysis, contributing to research reports and briefs, and presenting research findings and recommendations to partners, funders, and general audiences.
This is an outstanding opportunity for an early- to mid-career professional with experience in social science research and a commitment to social justice and progressive change. The ideal candidate will have background in research on framing, cultural mindsets, and/or narrative; have experience working with partners and successfully building and managing those relationships; be intellectually curious, innovative, adaptable, and insightful; be knowledgeable about contemporary social movements and policy issues; and be committed to principles of inclusion and equity.
This is a full-time position based in Washington, D.C., with the possibility of remote work. The position can require up to 15% travel under standard circumstances. (Due to COVID-19, all research is being conducted virtually until at least summer of 2022.)
