One post-doctoral position is available at the Center for Social Norms and Behavioral Dynamics at the University of Pennsylvania. This large-scale research project aims to explore the relations between social norms, trust, and poverty across the US. The postdoctoral researcher will support the PIs (Prof. Cristina Bicchieri, Dr. Kevin Vallier, and Dr. Enrique Fatas) in designing and conducting experimental work, conducting data analysis, and work on activities including background research and literature reviews, mixed-methods research design (including design of a national survey on social norms and trust), data collection and analysis, as well as writing of papers, reports, and dissemination pieces. The Postdoctoral Fellow will also support the Project Manager in coordinating the general progress of research activities and will supervise the work of Research Specialists.

Applicants should have obtained a PhD in the social sciences before the start of the fellowship. Applicants from Sociology, Social Psychology, and similar disciplines with good knowledge of survey methods will be considered. Experience and interest researching poverty and inequality topics in the US is required. Applicants should have experience with mixed-methods research and conducting statistical analyses using R (required) and Stata (strongly preferred).

The postdoctoral researcher is expected to participate fully in the intellectual life of the Center, and to contribute to the vibrant interdisciplinary group of economists, behavioral and political scientists at Penn that includes faculty, postdocs and students in the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Program. The position is available starting in the summer of 2022, for an initial period of one year with potential extension for up to two additional years.
