The Penn Development Research Initiative (PDRI-DevLab) at the University of Pennsylvania invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship during the 2024-2025 academic year. The initial appointment is for one year with the possibility for renewal up to 3 years given joint interest and performance. Ideally, the postdoctoral fellow would be spending two years at Penn.

The postdoctoral fellow will work closely under the supervision of Professor Guy Grossman. The postdoctoral fellow will help to design and execute studies, conduct rigorous quantitative analyses using advanced causal inference and data science methods, and contribute to the development of new research projects. Studies will be focused on selected topics in international development, especially in migration and forced displacement, human trafficking, and climate change and related topics, and may include field experiments as well as secondary (observational) data analyses. About 50% of the postdoctoral fellow’s time will be dedicated to PDRI-DevLab collaborative projects, and 50% of their time will be set aside for pursuing their own research. The position does not entail teaching.

Applications are welcomed from social scientists (irrespective of their disciplinary background) with strong quantitative skills. Applicants must have received their Ph.D. (or equivalent) by the end of summer 2024.

Applications will be reviewed starting November 15, 2023.  To receive full consideration, applications should be received by that date. Note that we do not ask for letters of recommendation at the application stage (but may ask for LoRs for a short list of finalists).

Regards,
