Full Text of JOE Listing:

Stanford University is seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the Immigration Policy Lab (IPL). The principal job of the postdoc will be to design and implement immigration policy evaluations and conduct rigorous quantitative analyses using advanced methods of causal inference under the supervision of Professors Jens Hainmueller, David Laitin, and Jeremy Weinstein.

She or he will be involved in all aspects of the research, but with a particular emphasis on research design, survey design and implementation, data acquisition, data analysis and interpretation of results for projects associated with IPL’s Migration and Development Initiative (generously supported by the Stanford King Center on Global Development). IPL is a highly-collaborative environment and postdocs will have the opportunity to develop new lab projects with other team members as well as join existing ongoing projects. The postdoc will have the opportunity to co-author papers envisioned to appear in top journals that report on the results of the studies and work with an array of affiliated faculty from top institutions. While the majority of the postdoc’s time will be dedicated to collaborative lab projects, there is also an opportunity to work on independent research.
