American Public Media (APM) is the largest station-based public radio organization in the United States, combining multi-regional station operations, national content creation and distribution in one organization. APM Research Lab is a division of APM, established in 2017 to inform the public by producing credible research- and analysis-based content. The Research Lab's mission is to foster an engaged democracy by inspiring curiosity, inquiry, and discussion through fact-driven, credible research and analysis. The Senior Research Analyst will join a small team of experienced researchers and will contribute to the Lab's research agenda and publication calendar. Recent projects include: a demographic analysis of congressional elections, a look at changes in the housing market in larger US cities, an exploratory study about how people think about water, and national surveys about Americans’ attitudes toward four-year degrees and labor unions.
