Overview
The Department of Sociology at Princeton University is seeking a full-time research specialist under the supervision of Professors Brandon Stewart (Sociology), Olga Russakovsky (Computer Science) and Jonathan Mummolo (Politics & Public Affairs), in cooperation with Dean Knox (Operations, Information and Decisions, University of Pennsylvania).
The successful candidate will take a leadership role in a project developing tools for analyzing video content generated by police body-worn cameras (BWCs) using cutting edge artificial intelligence. In addition to facilitating scholarly work on a host of topics, these tools will allow law enforcement agencies to flag patterns of officer behavior for review, informing future officer training programs. This research may also eventually contribute to a real-time system that flags early warning signs of violent encounters to promote de-escalation strategies.
Outstanding performance in this role will lead to opportunities to coauthor scholarly publications.
This is a one year term position starting as early as December 2021 and ending no later than January 1, 2023. Salary is competitive and position is benefits-eligible. It is expected that work will be done at Princeton University, while following university COVID protocols for in-person work and learning.
Applicants should have a background in quantitative social science, statistics, data science, economics and/or computer science, along with teaching and/or management experience.
Applicants should submit a dossier in the Other Documents field, including:
1. a cover letter of interest,
2. a complete vita,
3. names and contact information of up to three persons who can serve as references,
4. optionally, a writing sample, code sample, or other relevant work product of interest.
All materials should be submitted as one continuous PDF. Materials submitted by regular mail or email will not be accepted.
