Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Center for Economic and Social Research (CESR) at the University of Southern California has openings for Research Scientists in the field of Applied Economics at a rank equivalent to Advanced Assistant Professor/Associate Professor/Full Professor level. CESR provides an excellent opportunity for scholars to pursue their own new and exciting areas of research within a vibrant multi-disciplinary community of social scientists.

Successful candidates will have demonstrated research excellence, as evidenced through their publication and grant record. The positions require a Ph.D. in economics or closely related field, and several years of experience. The positions require excellent analytical skills, strong written and oral communication skills, significant knowledge of a specialized area of research, experience working on externally funded grants, a willingness to attract external funding, the ability to lead projects and proposals and work as a member of multi-disciplinary teams, and a commitment to effecting change through empirical research.

Research areas include aging, children & families, development economics, education economics, behavioral economics, financial decision-making, genoeconomics, health, health disparities, inequality, mobile health, self-report science, and subjective well-being. CESR is a research-funded center, therefore positions are not part of the tenure system and Research Scientists are eventually expected to fund their research agenda.
