The Center for Social Research (CSR) is seeking multiple UHart faculty members to join us as Faculty Research Fellows, collaborating with our team on multiple research and evaluation projects focused in Hartford, and especially the “North End” (i.e., the North Hartford Promise Zone/Neighborhood comprised of Upper Albany, Clay Arsenal, and Northeast neighborhoods). Current projects focus on addressing disparities in education and health, but include attention to employment, housing, public safety, substance use, mental health, and the full range of issues facing these communities.
Throughout this work there is an explicit focus on collaborative and sustainable systems change, building families’ and individuals’ resilience and other protective factors, promoting equity/social justice, and supporting community development, empowerment, and well-being.
We are looking for inspired, motivated, and capable faculty to help conduct applied research, including collecting, analyzing, and reporting on both quantitative and qualitative data, and using data to inform system development and quality improvements in services in order to improve lives and outcomes for the community.
Compensation in the form of summer salary and/or a yearly course buy-out are available.
For more information about these opportunities and to apply, please see the attached document.
Candidates who are bi-lingual in Spanish and English, faculty of color, and individuals with lived experience in Hartford are especially encouraged to apply!
