Applicants would ideally have expertise in computational social science and statistics particularly for methods relevant to the social, behavioral, health, policy, or education sciences. This could include a methodological focus on Bayesian inference, causal inference, machine learning, missing data, multilevel models, networks or spatial statistics, or natural language processing, among other areas.
