CIRCLE is seeking national project director
CIRCLE at Tufts University is seeking a National Project Director, an entrepreneurial leader and experienced project developer who is passionate about understanding and increasing civic participation.
CIRCLE is the leading center for studying youth civic engagement. We are pioneering a national initiative to research and improve the relationship between higher education and civic participation.

The National Project Director will turn this pilot project into a national research and communications organization serving hundreds of colleges and universities nationwide in all fifty states, impacting research, policy, and student civic participation.
The National Project Director will develop the non-profit business plan, design the system for handling data, and market the project nationally. S/he will create over 100 research partnerships with higher learning institutions across the country in 2012, and continue expanding the research network to over 400 institutions by 2016.
Applicants should demonstrate expertise in leadership, negotiation, management, systems development, communications and client relations. Substantial experience with legal compliance, statistical analysis, and data management highly preferred. Knowledge of higher education research, policy and law desired.
