RAND Staff
"RAND is a creative organization that thrives on new ideas and spirited debate. Homogeneity along any dimension works against these objectives."
Approximately 1,600 people from more than eighty countries work at RAND, representing diversity in work experience; political and ideological outlook; race, gender, and ethnicity; and academic training. This diversity reinforces RAND's core values of quality and objectivity by promoting creativity, deepening understanding of the practical effects of policy, and ensuring multiple viewpoints and perspectives.
To provide the comprehensive expertise needed to fully address public policy issues, RAND hires staff from a variety of disciplines. Eighty-nine percent of the research staff holds advanced degrees, with 60 percent having earned Ph.D.s or M.D.s.
RAND's unique intellectual environment nurtures objective analysis and innovative solutions to policy and decisionmaking issues, which span a broad range of substantive areas.
