CLIR postdoctoral associate job posting

Brandeis University Library and Technology Services (LTS) offers a one-year
Postdoctoral Associate position for a social science scholar with
substantial demonstrated expertise in quantitative and qualitative research

Associate Director for Academic Technology and also work closely with the
Director for Academic Support and User Services.

The Associate should possess a PhD in a social science discipline as well

responsibility of the Associate will be to establish a program of support
