We are looking for a postdoc for the grant described below for 1-3 years. This would be a good opportunity for those finishing their degree and are interested in further methodology training. It's not obvious from the official job description, but there is a lot of social science in this work: survey research, panel data, correlating physical & social factors, and the baseline survey will have 5 political questions (centering on enfranchisement and participation). The "or the equivalent" educational requirement definitely applies to readers of this listserv. Please email me if you have any questions.
