Full Text of JOE Listing:

Princeton University seeks candidates for a one-year postdoctoral research associate position in development finance starting on or about September 1, 2021. Appointments may be renewable. In addition to pursuing their own independent research, the postdoc will be instrumental in supporting the new Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies Research Community on development finance in fragile states. The main objective will be working on a structure of risk measures appropriate to assessing decisions to mobilize finance in fragile states. Key technical questions are to develop a framework of risk measures appropriate to assessing threats, and to leverage modern machine learning tools to harness the information in large visual, verbal, and numerical localized data now available. The second objective will be collaborating with the Empirical Studies of Conflict project (ESOC) to develop a publicly available dataset on development finance in fragile states.

The position provides an outstanding opportunity to collaborate with Princeton faculty, graduate and undergraduate students. There are no teaching obligations. Applicants must have received a Ph.D., received or expected between September 2018 and September 2021, in such fields as Economics, Operations Research, or Data Science. Please review the full listing and submit an application online via the link provided.
