We seek researchers who would thrive in our entrepreneurial, interdisciplinary, collegial, yet highly autonomous culture. This scholar will aid in the design and development of new projects and will also contribute to several active projects including analyses of the effects of early career awards, paid research experiences, large-scale cyberinfrastructure investments, and COVID-19 have on scholarly productivity and academic research. Applicants must have a doctoral degree in the social sciences or related disciplines. Individuals from groups historically under-represented in the social sciences are strongly encouraged to apply.
