I also have the opportunity to be involved with a new initiative on campus - the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society: http://diversity.berkeley.edu/haas-institute In particular, I am Chair of the Economic Disparities Cluster of the Haas. The idea is to foster inter- and multi-disciplinary research and engage in helping to communicate this research to relevant groups outside the university. As part of my involvement with the Economic Disparities cluster, I am leading a search for an Assistant Professor who would be part of the cluster. The faculty line is funded through the cluster but the hire would still be located in an academic department on campus. I, along with my colleague Rucker Johnson, identified you as a scholar who may be mentoring a graduate student or young researcher who might be a good match for this search. Our ad is attached (and I have included the core text of the ad below). As you can see, we are casting a wide net in terms of disciplinary background. We are interested in candidates who are working on some issue related to economic disparities, and we give examples of that on the ad. Rucker and I would love it if you could help us get the word out and to encourage suitable young researchers to apply. We are keen to create a high quality pool and getting the attention of senior faculty working and training in this area is important in this regard. We are accepting applications through November 1, 2013. Please keep this deadline in mind! Thanks in advance for your help and feel free to contact me with suggestions or questions. I can be reached at hoynes(a)berkeley.edu<mailto:hoynes@berkeley.edu>.
