Gruen Gruen + Associates (GG+A) is a research-oriented consulting firm specializing in urban economics, market research, land use policy, real estate pre-development services, and litigation support. We are currently seeking a part-time Research Assistant based in the Denver area, with the potential for it to transition to a full-time role if desired. GG+A provides consulting and advisory services to a diverse clientele, including public and private landowners, real estate developers, municipal and county governments, as well as public institutions such as airports and school districts. This position offers a unique opportunity to study all types of land use and real estate.

The primary responsibility of the position is to assist in the preparation of real estate market research, surveys, demographic research, economic and investment analysis, and fiscal/economic impact analyses. These tasks will typically relate to housing and economic development strategies, real estate development or redevelopment projects, land use plans, public policy, and public finance issues.

Preferred candidates will have training in economics, finance, urban geography, or real estate research. The role demands strong analytical skills, effective verbal communication, and proficient writing abilities. You should also be comfortable using Microsoft Excel and Word on a frequent basis. Familiarity with software including ArcGIS, Adobe InDesign, SurveyMonkey or Qualtrics, and Argus would be advantageous.

The Research Assistant position is expected to work remotely on a semi-flexible schedule, with regular in-person meetings held in Denver.
