Working at IHEP

We are a diverse and dedicated team driven by our passion for improving college access and success in higher education by promoting opportunity and closing equity gaps for today’s students.

We strive to achieve a supportive environment in which all employees reach their maximum potential.

Current Career Opportunities

IHEP is seeking a Vice President (VP) of Research to join its leadership team, lead the research team, and serve as a key spokesperson for the organization. This position is being created as a result of a restructuring of IHEP’s research and policy team, which is currently led by the VP of Research and Policy. Once the VP of Research joins the organization, our VP of Research and Policy will transition to a VP of Policy role to focus more squarely on policy development and lead a separate policy team. These two VPs will collaborate closely with each other and the VP of Communications and Government Affairs to oversee a diverse portfolio of IHEP research, policy, and advocacy projects that advance IHEP’s mission and policy priorities. Apply here.

The Victor Kuo Internship Program

Victor Kuo championed college access, success, and equity and left a lasting impact in the world. IHEP’s internship program bears the name of our former vice chair of the board of directors to honor his support for students and impact in the field of higher education. Dr. Kuo’s luminous spirit, kindness, and compassion touched those around him as he used his talents to address injustice and to elevate people and important social issues. Through his work, with IHEP and beyond, Dr. Kuo transformed the field of education and evaluation to promote quality, life-changing outcomes for students. He was a true champion for racial and economic justice, particularly for Asian-American and Pacific Islander students. As we do for our team as a whole, we center equity in the recruitment and selection of our interns.
