It's a great position: we have tons of restricted data, lots of research support, and a collaborative team. We would love to have some Harvard students apply. We will begin reviewing applications on 10/4. If anyone has questions, they can email me at carleg(a)princeton.edu<mailto:carleg@princeton.edu>. Thank you, Carl https://puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/apply/application.xhtml?listingId=272…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__puwebp.princeton.edu_A…> Application for Postdoctoral Research Associate The Department of Sociology at Princeton University seeks applicants for a postdoctoral or more senior research associate in the Eviction Lab.

Successful candidates will be comfortable with management of large datasets and advanced statistical modeling or computer programming skills. Preference will be given to candidates who have demonstrated experience with causal methods for observational data, Bayesian hierarchical and spatial modeling, and/or machine learning. Previous experience working in a research team or lab is a plus.

T-T job in Sociology at Christopher Newport University

by Matteson, Jessica M.

FYI My department is recruiting a tenure-track position in sociology with specialization in race, family, and/or gender. This job would be a great fit for someone who enjoys teaching, especially undergraduates, as that is truly valued. We live up to supporting it with most classes being under 25 students (our typical cap is actually 19) and scheduling that almost always keeps number of preps limited. Tenure-track faculty have a 3-3 load, which is lower than many public teaching-intensive universities (at least when I was on the market myself). There is also still strong support for research and a very collegial faculty; our department in particular has a really supportive and friendly atmosphere. Christopher Newport University is public, but is small and prides itself on providing a liberal arts environment with close contact between faculty and our mostly-undergrad student population. Newport News is a city on the James River in coastal Virginia, close to Williamsburg, Norfolk, and Richmond. Here is the link to the job ad: https://jobs.cnu.edu/postings/14100 I am on the search committee and would be happy to answer questions from anyone considering applying. I have been here five years and I’ve been very happy here.

Instructor needed for doctoral Research Methods course Spring 2023 at UMass Boston

by Matteson, Jessica M.

FYI Hi Jessica, I hope you are well! I wonder if you would be willing to circulate a job ad for my friend (a sociologist and student of Rob Sampson from his Chicago days) who teaches at UMass Boston? This for teaching one course in Spring semester 2023. I can share some recent syllabi to give an idea of how the class is usually handled - it covers general social science research design and methods. The instructor _must_ have a PHD, so unfortunately this opportunity is not available to the department's ABDs. But I'm hoping you could send it to the lecturers and visitors, as well as perhaps recent PHDs who are in the area? thanks! -alison ----------------------- Instructor needed for doctoral Research Methods course Spring 2023 The Department of Public Policy and Public Affairs at UMass Boston is currently seeking an instructor for doctoral seminar on Research Methods for Spring 2023. We are looking for a social science PhD who could teach introductory research methods at the doctoral level (mush have PHD in hand). The seminar is expected to have 10-12 students and to meet once a week for 2.5 hours during the spring semester.
