Description

RAND is seeking highly motivated researchers and practitioners who would like to use their technical and domain expertise to directly impact government biosecurity policy to analyze policy problems of national and international importance for preventing pandemics and other biological catastrophes.

RAND Policy Researchers in Biosecurity conduct qualitative and quantitative research to produce actionable policy recommendations for the White House, intelligence community, defense department and other arms of the government and industry. They lead and contribute to multidisciplinary project teams to analyze biosecurity problems where the technical details matter.

Biosecurity policy researchers share and uphold RAND’s values to high-quality, rigorous analysis and objectivity, which has secured RAND's reputation for excellence and attracts studies that often pose novel challenges in analysis, modeling, research design, and computing. Researchers apply their skills in novel and flexible ways to emerging problems at the cutting edge of their fields and apply their insights to critical policy issues.

Responsibilities:

Biosecurity policy researchers will use their practical knowledge and experience in biosecurity policy and practice, coupled with their technical and methodological skills (e.g., in engineering, operations research, applied mathematics, and physical sciences) to:

  • Develop research approaches to solve complex government biosecurity policy problems

  • Execute this research using a broad range of analytically rigorous, quantitative and/or qualitative research tools, methods, and skills

  • Interpret research results to support decision-making surrounding complex biosecurity policy problems

  • Communicate results to public policy makers at all levels through written products and oral presentations
