You may also collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, interview research participants, and prepare detailed reports or presentations of your findings. Additionally, you’ll frequently engage with stakeholders such as policymakers, advocacy groups, and people with disabilities to ensure your research addresses real-world needs. This role requires a mix of independent research and teamwork, as well as adaptability to shifting project priorities.
