Postdocs at Princeton

by Matteson, Jessica M.

FYI! Great opportunity for the right person! I'm writing about the postdocs that we told you about- we are recruiting for them and I was hoping that you would spread the word to any students who might be interested! We are also considering applicants who are almost finished but don't have a PhD in hand. Here is the info: We are hiring two postdocs- one in sociology and one in politics- to develop and co-teach a series of computing workshops designed to support undergraduate students learning R in their courses and for independent research. The workshops will be designed around our newly merged sociology/politics undergrad stats class, which I'll be co-teaching this fall with Kosuke Imai. They will also be advertised to all students on campus, since many courses are using R across disciplines. This initiative was developed by Matt Salganik, Kosuke, and I, and the three of us will be supervising the postdocs and advising on the development of the workshops. It's a two-year position, starting Sept. 1. Princeton is a great place to be a post-doc; there is a lot of research support and collaboration with a vibrant community both of postdocs and of junior faculty. The posting is here: jobs.princeton.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=68571<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__jobs.princeton.edu_appl…> I'm happy to answer any questions (though I'm in Uganda, so pardon a brief delay in my getting back to you). best wishes, and thanks in advance for helping us to get the word out!

Need grad student reps to speak with summer undergrad researchers

by Matteson, Jessica M.

If you will be on campus in June and would like to participate in a grad student panel to help visiting undergrads learn more about grad school, let me know! Best, Jessica *BLISS (behavioral laboratory in the social sciences) is a summer residential program designed to stimulate community and creativity among a diverse cohort of undergraduate researchers. During the ten-week program a dozen or so Harvard students work full time on faculty-led social science research projects on campus or in the neighboring communities. Modeled after the popular and successful Harvard College Program for Research in Science and Engineering (PRISE<http://prise.harvard.edu/>), BLISS provides housing and partial board, a stipend for expenses, and coverage of summer savings obligations for financial aid recipients, as well as academic and professional development programming for the student Fellows (including lectures and discussions with distinguished faculty and professionals in a wide variety of fields, practical seminars, and tours of research centers and labs around campus), and a host of social activities. Hello Grad Program Coordinators, I’d like to put together a graduate student panel to talk to my undergraduate BLISS<http://socialscience.fas.harvard.edu/BLISS> Fellows this summer about grad school in their respective fields (getting in, a day in the life, career options, and so forth). We’d do this over dinner, probably a Monday night in late June (although I’m open to other options). I’d like to represent a wide variety of social sciences… Can you recommend any grad students I might contact in your respective departments? Maybe a G2 or higher, obviously someone who will be around in the summer, which may not be common in some of your fields, I know… Postdocs or newly minted PhDs would be fine, too. There is no obligation on the part of the grad students I contact; it’s just that I think some of them might find this fun and worthwhile…and they get a free dinner! :-) Thanks for your advice! Best, Jennifer — Jennifer M.
