Demographer – UJA Federation of New York
Posted: 1/20/2023 (Employment)
UJA-Federation of New York, the largest Jewish nonprofit in the United States, is seeking a research scientist with strong analytical skills and proven experience leading demographic research to direct the internal analysis and reporting of the 2023 Jewish Community Study of New York. The U.S. Census is prohibited from asking questions about religion, so the 2023 Jewish Community Study of New York is the prime source of information about the Jewish community used to inform policy and direct resources to communities who need it most. The study will collect data from a cross-sectional, representative sample of over 6,000 New York area adults who live in Jewish households. These data will be collected online, by phone, and through hardcopy questionnaires, and will provide valuable information on employment, poverty, mental health, Jewish life and identity, and many more content areas. Data collection will begin early February 2023 and end in May, and the analysis of the data will begin in the summer of 2023. For examples of similar past studies, please see the 2021 Covid-19 Impact Study (https://www.ujafedny.org/covid-19-impact-study) and the 2011 Jewish Community Study (https://www.ujafedny.org/api/v2/assets/785729/).
