Executive Assistant (part-time in Albany, NY)

Currently, Reach Advisors has an opening for a part-time executive assistant.  For more information on this position, click here.

 

 

Research Fellowships (can be located anywhere)

 

Role:

 
We're establishing a Research Fellowship for professionals with strong career histories and intense personal curiosity regarding emerging shifts likely to reshape the consumer landscape. 

 

Various outputs from the Fellowship might include a research study funded by Reach Advisors, an industry conference presentation, a co-authored article, a book, a breakthrough industry convening, etc. 

 

The timing is flexible.  It's not a full-time commitment, and there are no specific boundaries for how long it will take to create meaningful output with part-time involvement (although we suspect that the duration of most Fellowships will run between 4-12 months). 

 

This does not require onsite work and can be completed anywhere, although we do intend to create the opportunity to engage with the Fellow at various locations that might include internal team convenings or industry conferences, etc.

Qualifications:

This Research Fellowship is ideal for someone who is looking to go rather deep into a specific topic, but not on a full-time basis.  We envision candidates from various backgrounds such as:

 

• An academic or non-profit thought leader with concepts worth incubating for broader application
• Someone whose current position creates an opportunity for a major breakthrough if critical insight is developed during a research fellowship
• Someone phasing into a second career for broader impact after serving at the pinnacle in their field
• Someone phasing a re-entry into the workforce after an extended leave-of-absence from a fast-track career path

Non-traditional backgrounds and research topics are encouraged.

 

Those topics for a Research Fellowship can range widely, but some examples might cut across the consumer spectrum (e.g., the impact of the shifting ethnic landscape or aging population on the future marketplace, frameworks for establishing consumer immersion/connection/transformation), or perhaps might be specific to where someone is trying to take their work (e.g., the future of arts and culture in urban placemaking, reshaping the future of community in America, the future of healthy living in America, the future of travel, longitudinal analysis identifying causal relationships between early exposures and future behaviors, analysis of large-scale government data sets for breakthrough trend analysis) ... these are just a few of the types of topics that we like to obsess about.

 
Specific characteristcs of a Research Fellow include:

• Extremely strong writing and analytical skills
• Extremely strong collaborative talent
• Extreme comfort with navigating the unknown and seeing around corners
• Extreme curiosity about topics of mutual interest

 

 Funding:

Like most part-time non-resident Research Fellowships, there are no plans for a stipend for living expenses.  We do, however, intend to support the research of the Research Fellow as well as the dissemination of the final output.  That support will take shape as cash funding of direct expenses for the research and dissemination; access to Reach Advisors staff, research, contacts, etc.  The Research Fellowship could, however, roll into a paid consulting role if it becomes a grant-funded project or it proves over time to fit directly with client needs.

 

Tips for consideration for a Research Fellowship:

- For those not already familiar with the firm's work, please explore our website and news articles covering various pieces of our work.
- If you have an opportunity to meet us at one of our public presentations, we'd enjoy meeting you there (but it's not required).
- Send an email to fellowship@reachadvisors.com (no phone calls please) with an introduction on how your research interests might fit with those of Reach Advisors.  If there's good potential for a productive Research Fellowship, we look forward to exploring the possibilities!
