Launching the Cash Transfer Lab and Seeking a postdoc

by Matteson, Jessica M.

FYI, via Jason Beckfield, Sasha Killewald, and department alumnus Cat Turco: Dear colleagues, I hope this email finds you and your loved ones safe. I write to announce the launch of the Cash Transfer Lab. Our mission is to build an evidence base regarding cash transfer policies like a Universal Basic Income. We answer the fundamental questions of how a Universal Basic Income policy would transform American families, communities and economies. The first major initiative is to study the effects of the permanent fund dividend (PFD), a policy in Alaska that has paid every Alaskan resident a substantial amount of cash annually since 1982. This is the closest policy in the world to a Universal Basic Income. You can read about the Cash Transfer Lab here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__as.nyu.edu_cash-2Dtran…>. We are hiring a postdoctoral associate to work on causal inference modeling. This scholar will work primarily with myself and Jennifer Hill<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__steinhardt.nyu.edu_peo…>. Details on the position and how to apply is here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__apply.interfolio.com_8…>. Please spread the word! Best, Sarah Sarah K.
