A consortium of foundations, universities, and the federal government supports SNAAP. Indiana University's Center for Postsecondary Research and Vanderbilt's Curb Center for Art, Enterprise and Public Policy are the principal institutional collaborators. We seek to fill the 2-year position in the next 6 months. The fellow will work directly with SNAAP's senior research director, Steven J. Tepper, assistant professor of sociology and associate director of the Curb Center for Art, Enterprise and Public Policy at Vanderbilt. The fellow will conduct primary analysis on data collected from over 20,000 former art students in the U.S. The fellow will be expected to produce both policy reports as well as scholarly articles. The fellow will also be responsible for helping to organize a national conference in 2012 and will be a primary editor of a national report, loosely entitled, "Training and Preparing Artists and Creative Workers in the 21st Century." We invite applications from qualified candidates who have received a doctoral degree in any relevant discipline, including but not limited to sociology, economics, public policy, and education leadership and policy. The candidate should have a strong research background, training in quantitative and qualitative methods, familiarity with large data sets, the ability to work independently and part of a collaborative team. Compensation will be based on a 12-month salary and will be competitive based on experience. Preference will be given to candidates willing to relocate to Nashville; in some circumstances we would consider allowing the candidate to be located elsewhere. Applicants should submit a cover letter and writing sample, and a current CV. Completed materials should be sent to Sara Lee at 1801 Edgehill Ave, Nashville, TN 37212 and via email to sara.m.lee(a)vanderbilt.edu.
