Job Openings

The Colorado Evaluation and Action Lab, “Colorado Lab”, seeks to engage graphic designer(s) to create static infographics for policy briefs and to develop factsheets that serve as executive summaries of our reports.  

Our research agenda is supporting data-driven decision making with respect to the priorities that government sets for themselves, such as:

• reducing recidivism in the criminal justice system
• improving the lives of youth in foster care
• building a strong early childhood workforce
• strengthening families affected by opioid or other substance use

The Colorado Lab will conduct quantitative research (e.g., trends in prenatal substance exposure; young adults aging out of foster care who experience homelessness). The graphic designer will help to create graphics that convey core messages from the research and policy recommendations. This is not a call for the creation of basic charts and graphs – we can do that in house. Instead, we are looking for graphic designers who can read the introduction and key findings of reports, engage in a brief consultation with the research team, and then produce clear, compelling, and culturally responsive individual graphics for insertion in a report or create a one to two page graphic executive summary.

We strive to have two or more weeks lead time for the initial design. Revisions may need to occur within 48 hours to meet project deadlines.

Please send examples of your work that align with our needs, a brief introduction that describes your approach to graphic design, and your hourly rate to admin@coloradolab.org by August 31, 2020. We welcome submissions from individuals and graphic design firms.
