Full Text of JOE Listing:
The Empirical Studies of Conflict Project at Princeton's School of Public and International Affairs, the Julis-Rabinowitz Center for Public Policy and Finance, and the Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering seek outstanding candidates for a postdoctoral research associate, or a more senior position, in development finance, starting July-2022.
In addition to pursuing their own independent research, the Postdoctoral Research Associate will play a key role in supporting a new Research Community focusing on how technical and/or financial interventions can address issues at the intersection of climate change and development in such regions as sub-Saharan Africa. Experience using data from diverse sources like nightlights and social media, in addition to administrative data, would be of particular value. The Associate could also support an ongoing ORFE project in collaboration with a major US bank, or teach an introductory course in statistics and probability for that department, contingent on interest, departmental need, and sufficient course enrollments. If teaching, the Associate would carry a secondary rank of Lecturer during the relevant semester.
The position provides an excellent opportunity for collaboration with Princeton faculty, graduate and undergraduate students. Postdoctoral Research Associates are expected to participate actively in the intellectual life of Princeton University.
