Associate Program Manager, Tobin Center for Economic Policy, Yale University
The Tobin Center for Economic Policy at Yale University works to strengthen families, communities, and the nation. We enable research on key challenges facing society and bring the resulting insights to the policy arena for impact. We do this by building purpose-driven partnerships across government, engaging with the media, and training a more diverse and inclusive generation of social scientists and policy leaders. Our work has been credited with making significant contributions to United States law and policy across health, climate, education, and economic opportunity. The Associate Program Manager facilitates the execution of research projects and policy activities for a dynamic and growing center that aims to reduce the time between research and impact.
Position Focus
The position combines work for the Tobin Center with direct research support for Professor Fiona Scott Morton. The work is a mixture of program administration, legal writing, economic research, interactions with enforcers, and similar tasks. It is therefore ideal for an early-stage researcher, perhaps someone in between degrees or clerkships, or a recent graduate.
The position will support research initiatives under the Digital Economy Project, one of the Yale Tobin Center’s policy areas. Activities include collaborating with a multidisciplinary team to investigate competition problems in digital markets across the United States and beyond, working to solve those problems, and generating the outputs necessary for effective outreach. The successful candidate will work closely with Fiona Scott Morton, Theodore Nierenberg Professor of Economics, and assist in research, editing, writing, and coordinating a variety of projects across the competition space including court filings, academic publications, wider-interest blogs, and regulatory comments; supervise student research assistants; monitor developments in digital regulation; and manage day-to-day program logistics and responsibilities.
Principal Responsibilities 
  • Support the research and policy work of Professor Fiona Scott Morton, Theodore Nierenberg Professor of Economics
  • Supervise student researchers
  • Handle day-to-day demands of project management
Required Education
  • Bachelor's Degree in a related field and two years of related experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience. 
Required Skills 
  • Familiarity with the preparation of policy briefs, research reports, and presentations
  • Strong administrative and project management skills
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to adapt communication style to various audiences
  • Well-organized, ability to prioritize and manage multiple assignments simultaneously
  • Demonstrated ability to be able to drive forward project objectives according to set timelines and deliver on project aims
  • Attention to detail and ability to navigate complex administrative procedures
  • Demonstrated positive attitude and commitment to working as a member of a center-wide team—the ideal candidate should have the ability to understand, communicate, and effectively interact with people of different backgrounds and experiences.
Application Information
The ideal start date is summer 2026. The position includes a competitive salary, benefits, and access to Yale University resources. Interested applicants should send the following materials to TAPapplications@yale.edu:
  • Cover letter
  • CV
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
