Job Description

Marshall University is seeking a Research Analyst / Grant Writer to support the transformative Marshall for All project-a bold initiative providing students with a debt-free pathway to bachelor's degrees and career readiness . This position will play a pivotal role in evaluating the program's impact, analyzing student success metrics, and securing additional funding to ensure long-term sustainability.

The role is fully grant-funded for the first four years, with a gradual decrease in grant support in subsequent years.

This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic professional passionate about data-driven evaluation, funding acquisition, and advancing equity in higher education .

Collect, analyze, and report on qualitative and quantitative data to evaluate program effectiveness (e.g., retention, graduation rates, job placements, and post-graduation salaries).

  • Develop and execute advanced methodologies, including Difference-in-Differences (DiD), Propensity Score Matching (PSM), and longitudinal analyses.
  • Grant Writing :
  • Proactively research, develop, and submit competitive grant proposals to secure additional funding.

  • Produce compelling grant reports, policy briefs, and presentations for funders and institutional leadership.
  • Develop and execute strategies to acquire external funds that will sustain this position beyond the grant period.
  • Budget Management & Collaboration :
  • Work closely with the Marshall University Research Corporation to manage budgets, expenditures, and financial reporting for grants under Academic Affairs and the President's Office.

  • Partner with the Marshall University Foundation to align funding strategies and ensure financial stewardship for the Marshall for All project.
  • Monitor grant spending to ensure compliance with funding guidelines and timelines.
  • Data Infrastructure Development :
  • Build tools for tracking program success and benchmarking outcomes against peer institutions and national trends.

  • Ensure data accuracy, transparency, and usability for decision-making.
  • Stakeholder Engagement :
  • Present findings at conferences, webinars, and workshops.

  • Collaborate with faculty, administrators, and external partners to inform program strategy and foster funding partnerships.
