We are writing from the Jain Family Institute, an applied research organization based in New York City. We are hoping that you could distribute the following brief introduction to your departmental listserv:
The Jain Family Institute is an applied research organization based in New York City. Our team of interdisciplinary scholars and practitioners search for scalable interventions in the domains of social development, wellbeing, education and data science. Our current active initiatives include expanding research and pilot initiatives in income-share agreements, universal basic income, and recommender systems, as well as a wider array of ongoing research areas, including data ethics and welfare metrics.
Our team has current fellows and staff from a variety of departments at Columbia. To get a feel for our organization, please consider signing up for our weekly newsletter, which offers links and commentary on our wide-ranging areas of research and shows open jobs. (Here are two recent examples: one, two.)
At the moment, we are soliciting applications for:
– an interdisciplinary research fellowship
– a research internship (ideal for a candidate with an economics background)
Please get in touch with interest and inquiries at inquiry@jainfamilyinstitute.or
Thank you,
Jack Bahn
Jain Family Institute
