Subject: Square One project post-doc
Dear Friends — I apologize for the mass email, but I wanted to let you know about a post-doc at the Justice Lab at Columbia with the Square One Project.
We’re looking for a mixed methods researcher with interests in race, poverty, and criminal justice who will be doing site-based work, on a project that will also involve working with community organizations and policymakers. We’ve very interested in developing a diverse candidate pool. Exposure to the criminal justice system either directly or through family or friends could be an important life experience to bring to the work.
Here’s a link to the position: https://pa334.peopleadmin.com/postings/7190<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__pa334.peopleadmin.com_…>
A more detailed description appears below.
We have two years of funding for this post-doc, so this could be renewable after the first year. If you have good potential candidates, we’d love to hear from them.
Cheers,
Bruce
