We’re hiring TWO new policy analysts!

In recent months, lawmakers have taken historic steps to address some of Oklahoma’s most serious challenges. Over the years of advocacy and debate leading to this moment, Oklahoma Policy Institute has played an essential role of informing lawmakers, advocates, and the general public. We have steadily increased our audience and our production of useful and trustworthy information. Now we are hiring two new policy analysts to go even deeper in researching and communicating key analyses of education and criminal justice policies.

The education analyst position will be OK Policy’s first staffer to be fully dedicated to this issue area. The criminal justice analyst position will build on the work of our current criminal justice analyst, Ryan Gentzler, who will transition to leading a new justice data project within OK Policy.

“These new positions will build on OK Policy’s success and enhance our capacity to provide solid research that informs the debate on Oklahoma public policies,” said OK Policy Executive Director David Blatt. “We’re grateful to everyone who has made this expansion possible, by sharing our information and supporting our work.”

The deadline to apply for these positions is close of business on Thursday, May 17.
