The Crime Lab and Education Lab are one organization that oversees two portfolios of intricately related work. For most positions, staff will work on projects that fall within both the Crime Lab and Education Lab portfolios or they may focus on one portfolio for a period of time. There are some exceptions where positions are designed exclusively for either the Crime Lab or Education Lab under one portfolio of work. This information will be clearly noted in the job description for each opening.
