Dear Polmeth Colleagues (with apologies in advance for any multiple
postings you may receive):

Please consider applying, or calling this position to the attention of
others.  The SRC at Penn State is a thriving operation currently serving
faculty investigators from 31 different departments across eight
colleges.  Although we do plenty of traditional RDD, we also have a large
number of innovative projects using diary methods, sample collection (e.g.,
DNA swabs), multi-mode projects, including the capacity for face-to-face,
internet and mail surveys.  Working with cutting edge faculty across the
full range of health and social science fields makes this a fascinating and
stimulating place to work.   The center will likely play an increasing role
in methods initiatives at PSU (both in graduate training and stimulating
research proposals in methods).

We encourage applications from both university faculty (who will be
considered for a tenured appointment in the appropriate academic unit) as
well as those seeking appointment on a professional administrator or
research scientist track.

Preliminary inquiries are welcome and AAPOR members who would like more
information, or who would like to nominate a colleague, can contact me
directly ([log in to unmask] or 814/865-6576).

-- Eric
