Dear all,

We have new post-doctoral opportunities available in Tucson, Arizona, USA,

The University of Arizona’s (UA) Center for Digital Society and Data
Studies, in coordination with faculty from UA’s School of Information and
School of Government and Public Policy (SGPP), welcomes applications for
three (3) postdoctoral fellows beginning in Late October or Early November,
2016 and ending August, 2017 (these are 10-month positions). The fellows
will work with Professors Catherine Brooks, Samara Klar, and Yotam Shmargad
on a series of projects related to government surveillance, technology use
in developing countries, and the role of Big Data in political elections.
Working with faculty mentors, fellows will write scholarly research papers,
produce opinion pieces for popular media outlets, and communicate with
stakeholders such as government officials and think tanks. Fellows will
also support proposal development for external grant opportunities that are
aligned with these research areas. Fellows should have strong
methodological backgrounds and writing skills. We invite applicants from
across the methodological spectrum, though priority will be given to those
with expertise in statistical modeling, experiments in the lab or field,
surveys, or ethnographic interviews. The goals of this project are to
generate research findings that will inform policy, create new avenues for
advocacy, and inform the broader public.

Please share and forward, we would very much appreciate that!
