IWPR is an equal opportunity employer. We consider applicants without regard for race, ethnicity, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, marital or veteran status, sexual orientation, or any other legally protected status. IWPR’s work is supported by foundation grants, government grants and contracts, donations from individuals, and contributions from organizations. IWPR is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.

IWPR strives to build an atmosphere in which staff take pleasure in doing their work, share in the joy of discovery and policy impact, and are valued fairly for their contributions; where initiative, innovation, and risk-taking are encouraged; and where staff members enjoy equal opportunity and are enabled to discuss freely their concerns about their working environment.

In 2024, IWPR partnered with Working IDEAL to advance our commitment to fair and equitable compensation, conducting a comprehensive review of 30 unique position/location combinations to ensure IWPR’s compensation remains competitive and equitable and supports both organizational success and employee well-being.

IWPR is a hybrid workplace. All staff members work in the office a minimum of two days per week, depending on their role and workflow. All employees are required to work on-site on Wednesdays to foster collaboration and team bonding. All employees work remotely on Fridays.

Our office is in Washington, DC. Unfortunately, we cannot consider candidates for employment who wish to work fully remote or are available less than the days required for the role or our hybrid work model.

We are proud to recognize the staff bargaining unit affiliated with IUPAT District Council 51.
