The Thurgood Marshall Institute (TMI or Institute) is a multidisciplinary center within the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Inc. (LDF). Launched in 2015, the Institute complements LDF’s traditional litigation and policy strengths by arming LDF with dedicated support for two critical capabilities in the fight for racial justice: research and targeted advocacy campaigns.

The Institute seeks an experienced Senior Researcher with one or more of the following skill sets: demography, quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis, social science research, and statistics. The candidate selected for this position will lead research efforts across LDF’s areas of expertise: criminal justice, economic justice, education, and voting rights.
