The Berkeley Center for American Democracy, led by Professor David
Broockman at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB), is seeking a
Postdoctoral Scholar for research projects on the topics of political
polarization, public opinion, and/or political culture in the United
States. The position is a full-time research opportunity that provides
freedom to develop one’s own research part-time. It is expected that the
postdoctoral scholar will actively publish research findings and present
research. In addition, the postdoctoral scholar will:

   1. Help develop the Center’s strategy to counter political polarization
   in consultation with Center faculty and other stakeholders, with the
   expectation of developing a strategic plan for addressing mass
   polarization. This plan will particularly focus on the role of American
   national identity and should result in a paper that can be submitted for
   academic publication.
   2. Collaborate with Center faculty affiliates on current and new
   research projects around addressing polarization.
   3. Support the Center’s work to communicate with stakeholders and the
   public around solutions for addressing mass polarization.

The Center for American Democracy supports research on political
institutions, political behavior, and political economy in the United
States. The Center focuses on research of broad importance to American
society, such as the political roots of rising inequality, the political
and historical roots of our criminal justice and incarceration crisis, and
the causes of political polarization.
