The Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities (LEO) within the University of Notre Dame’s Department of Economics seeks two post-doctoral research associates. One position is particularly focused on the intersection of criminal justice and poverty. The other includes all research areas related to poverty.

Successful candidates will develop a portfolio of LEO-related research projects. There are no teaching responsibilities.
