Undergrad Seniors/recent grads: JOB OPPORTUNITY!
Abt is hiring a cohort of undergraduates to join with flexibility to start from late spring to end of summer. This posting is specifically exciting since the goal is to allow research assistants to explore the types of work they want to focus on whether it be working in education policy, health care delivery, or climate change science, etc. If you wanted to pass this along to your undergrads, I would be happy to also share my email in case anyone was interested to learn more about our work at Abt.
