The Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) is a global network of researchers who use randomized evaluations to answer critical policy questions in the fight against poverty. The 145 affiliated professors in our network are based at 49 top universities around the world. We have more than 300 dedicated research, policy, education, and training staff across research centers at academic institutions in Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, North America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. Founded at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2013, J-PAL North America has a full-time staff of over 30 researchers, policy experts, and administrative professionals and works across a range of sectors including health care, housing, criminal justice, education, and labor markets. J-PAL is currently recruiting for both international and domestic positions.  They are looking particularly for students with an economics background.
