Research Advisor
Peer-reviewed scholar ready to chair the foundation's research council.
Who you are
A scholar of attachment, developmental psychology, family systems, or trauma-informed practice. Active or recently active in academic or applied research — peer-reviewed publications, IRB-supervised studies, or methodologically serious practitioner work. You believe the foundation's curriculum and impact claims should be grounded in evidence, and you're willing to shepherd that translation.
What you'll do
Chair the foundation's research council. Vet incoming research-partner applications. Co-author the foundation's annual evidence brief. Advise on outcome-measurement instruments embedded in the workshop platform (pre/post surveys, longitudinal follow-up cadence). Guide the foundation's standards for what counts as a publishable Birthright research artifact and how DOIs are minted.
What you bring
Doctorate in psychology, social work, family medicine, or related field. Active peer-reviewed publication record in attachment, relational, or developmental research. Comfortable with both quantitative and qualitative methods. Capacity to commit 3+ years.
Compensation
Equity in mission — Birthright is a not-for-profit and does not currently provide monetary compensation. Stipends, honoraria, and grant-funded engagement may emerge as funding allows.
