We’re delighted to announce two staff changes at Langer Research Associates: the promotion of Chad Kiewiet de Jonge, Ph.D., to the position of senior research analyst, and the addition of Sofi Sinozich to our staff as research associate.

An expert in statistical analysis, political and international research and survey methodology, Kiewiet de Jonge has taken a leading role in many of our recent projects, including work on consumer insights, health care and our coverage of public policy and election politics. In addition to his promotion at Langer Research, he recently was named an affiliated professor at the Center for Research and Teaching in Economics (CIDE) in Mexico City, where he worked as an assistant professor of political science before joining us last summer.

Sinozich will graduate this spring from Columbia University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and statistics. She has interned with us since September, with previous internships at the Pew Research Center last summer and the Bureau of Justice Statistics in summer 2014. In her time with us, Sinozich has produced detailed pre-field research, contributed to our analysis of consumer sentiment and exit polls, meticulously updated our data resources and contributed to questionnaire design.

Thanks and congratulations to Chad and Sofi alike!
