Dear Colleagues,

There is a new post-doctoral fellowship opportunity at Yale. Yale's 
Institution for Social and Policy Studies is starting a new program, 
Democratic Innovations. This program aims to serve as a center for 
producing and evaluating new ideas for representation and governance, 
with a special emphasis on the causes of policy inefficiency and 
political failures, and how different systems of representation affect 
government performance. The program is still taking shape and the scope 
is broad. Theoretical analysis of government performance or voting 
systems, how to measure government performance, how technology is 
changing the feasible approaches to voting, participation, and 
accountability, experimental evaluations of representation and 
policy-making processes, historical studies of STV or cumulative voting, 
etc. etc. etc.: all are welcome!

We expect to award two or more post-docs. We will begin to review 
applications after February 1 and intend to continue reviewing 
applications until the positions are filled. The ad and link to the 
application portal is here:

Studies (yale.edu) <https://isps.yale.edu/democratic-innovations-fellowship>

We also have some funds to host short term faculty visitors working on 
topics relevant to the program's mission. If you are interested in 
spending time in New Haven working and engaging in discussions of your 
research and related work, please send a brief letter of interest to Pam 
Greene ([log in to unmask]).

If you have any further questions, please email me.

Happy Holidays and Very Best, Alan
