Research Analyst (Quantitative), Sexual and Reproductive Health

Program Area Description

Research in the Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) area aims to ensure that teens and young adults (1) have access to high-quality, accurate, and inclusive sexual and reproductive health care and knowledge; (2) are able to engage in and plan for safe, consensual, healthy, and empowered sexual activity; and (3) can have wanted and healthy pregnancies and births. Additionally, we study how sexual and reproductive health is linked to child and family well-being.

Our dynamic, multi-disciplinary teams have expertise in quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research; intervention development; measurement design; program evaluation; policy design; and technical assistance. Much of our research focuses on improving outcomes for communities with low incomes; young people with disabilities; and communities in under-resourced or rural areas, including Tribal communities.

Compensation

• This is a salaried position; salary will be $72,000.
• This position is eligible for benefits. For more info, please visit our career page.

Work Arrangement

This is a full-time position with some flexibility in schedule, but we ask staff to keep core hours of availability between 10 am-3 pm ET. Specific needs should be discussed during the interview process.

Location

Flexible remote, in most states. Child Trends does not yet operate everywhere in the US and may require additional start up time in certain states. We currently do not support work overseas, and all candidates must be authorized to work in the US to be considered. While our work is largely remote, some project activities will require occasional in-person attendance.

Background Investigation
Jobs that involve interactions with children and positions that rely on high levels of trust to perform duties are subject to a background check at the time of hire, with roles being offered contingent upon results. We will always conduct interviews of qualified individuals prior to requesting a criminal background check and never inquire into an applicant's criminal history until interviews have been conducted and offer decisions are being made. Current employees may also be subject to future background checks depending on the nature of their duties. A criminal history will not automatically disqualify a candidate or current employee from employment; however, any convictions related to the responsibilities and requirements of the position may do so.

Application Deadline: Applications will be reviewed in the order they are received. Position will be closed on 11/6/2026, or sooner if filled.
