Marijuana Policy Project Foundation is seeking a research assistant who is self-motivated and comfortable working independently (with the possibility of occasional small group work as well). The role will be primarily focused on finding working groups in multiple states that are in favor of regulated and safe access to cannabis. The assistant’s primary functions will include conducting research and writing research briefs for our Executive Director. This position requires basic research and policy knowledge. This will be a project-based role centered around two projects: one promoting regulated free markets to reduce teen access to cannabis, and the other focused on overall public safety.    This role is full-time and remote. Stand Together Fellowships believes that diversity in experiences, perspectives, knowledge and ideas fuels creativity, broadens knowledge, and helps drive success.
