The Justice Collaboratory at Yale Law School Seeks Social Science and Law Postdoctoral Fellow
The Justice Collaboratory is an interdisciplinary group of scholars at Yale University and beyond.
Led by Professors Tracey Meares and Tom Tyler, our goal is to apply the latest ideas in the social
sciences to inform policy and institutional design. Historically, much of our work has involved
researching public trust in legal authorities and the popular legitimacy of the criminal justice
system.
We are currently inviting applications for a 2019-2020 postdoctoral fellowship. This position is
intended for individuals who are interested in an academic or policy career working on the
intersections of science and law, with a particular interest in conducting research that informs
improvements in outcomes and legitimacy of the criminal justice system. Especially encouraged
to apply are candidates whose work is empirically grounded, rigorous and interdisciplinary.
Candidates should hold a doctoral degree (PhD in Psychology, Criminology, Sociology or other
social science field, JD or MD), and their research interests may combine different elements of
behavioral science, social science and the study of legal institutions. For example, research
interests may include or be related to: the perceived legitimacy of legal actors or legal processes;
legal authorities’ discretion; or evaluation of impacts of recent/current criminal justice policies,
among other related topics.
Candidates must have familiarity with a range of research methods and strong quantitative skills.
Experience with policy research is a plus. Postdoctoral fellows will become integral members of The Justice
Collaboratory. They will participate in Yale’s vibrant academic community, receive mentoring from our senior
faculty and have the opportunity to share ideas, gain research experience and produce manuscripts for
publication. Fellows will be expected to be involved in and contribute to ongoing and upcoming
research projects led by the Justice Collaboratory. Responsibilities will include collaboration with
the writing of grant proposals, as well as the collection, management and analysis of research data.
Additionally, there is an opportunity to teach one course during the academic year, while actively
engaging with the broader Yale community, attending seminars and events as appropriate.
Postdoctoral fellows will be chosen based on demonstrated academic merit, rigor of their research
and likelihood of future success collaborating with The Justice Collaboratory team.
This is a full-time, 12-month appointment located in New Haven, CT (appointees may have their
contracts extended for an additional year, upon mutually agreed terms). Salary is competitive and
we offer top-tier employee benefits.
Candidates should submit a cover letter explaining their interest in this position (of two pages or
less), a CV and full contact information for three references. Please collate these documents into a
single PDF file. Applications should be addressed to Prof. Tom Tyler and Prof. Tracey Meares
and sent to the care of our program coordinator, Molly Aunger<mailto:mailtomolly.aunger@yale.edu> no later than May 30, 2019. Select
candidates will be asked to submit a writing sample, academic transcripts, and reference letters.
