Senior Impact Researcher

June 28, 2026 9:29 AM | DCSS Admin (Administrator)

"The Constructive Dialogue Institute (CDI) is a non-partisan, non-profit dedicated to equipping the next generation of Americans with the skills to communicate and collaborate across lines of difference. We work with U.S. colleges and universities by providing co-curricular programming for students, professional development for faculty and staff, and strategic guidance to leadership. Our goal is to foster constructive dialogue at every level of the institution and to create the conditions for lasting organizational change. CDI was co-founded by psychologist Jonathan Haidt, the bestselling author of The Righteous Mind and The Anxious Generation.

"CDI is looking for a Senior Impact Researcher to own our evaluation agenda end-to-end — designing and executing impact and efficacy studies, building the measurement systems and analytical workflows behind them, and translating findings into insight that reaches academic, practitioner, funder, and public audiences.

"This is a role for someone who cares as much about how research lands as how it's designed — combining deep methodological expertise with a genuine commitment to public-facing communication. You'll work at the intersection of rigorous social science and real-world organizational impact, contributing to both CDI's mission and the broader field of constructive dialogue."

Schedule: Full-time, flexible within U.S. time zones
Target start date: ASAP
Location: Remote, must be based in the U.S.
Travel: twice a year for CDI's in-person gatherings, and approximately once a quarter to represent CDI at conferences or funder events.
