Job Description

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is responsible for the development, supervision, coordination, and implementation of international narcotics control assistance activities, international criminal justice issues, and foreign assistance for the United States Department of State.

• For each project, develop a monitoring plan (i.e., valid and reliable indicators) with an emphasis on measuring outcomes
• Copy project plans and monitoring plans into INL design and monitoring templates (in particular, the INL Change Map and, to the extent possible, the INL Performance Indicator Reference Sheet)

• PhD in a social science or related field
• Must have at least 5 years of experience conducting empirical research and/or monitoring and evaluating projects, focused on outcome measurement.
• Experience developing empirical research questions, and collecting and analyzing data (quantitative and qualitative)
