Postdoc at Berkeley Eviction Research and Computational Social Science (April 1 deadline)

by Matteson, Jessica M.

FYI I hope you all are doing well. Could you please pass this post-doc call to your students and networks? The application deadline is April 1, 2023. Applications will continue to be accepted after this date, but those received after the review date will only be considered if the position has not yet been filled. Please feel free to email Tim Thomas (timthomas(a)berkeley.edu<mailto:timthomas@berkeley.edu>) or David Harding (dharding(a)berkeley.edu<mailto:dharding@berkeley.edu>) with any questions. Thank you! Berkeley Eviction Research and Computational Social Science Postdoc U.C. Berkeley's Urban Displacement Project (UDP - urbandisplacement.org<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__urbandisplacement.org&d…>) and Eviction Research Network (ERN - evictionresearch.net<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__evictionresearch.net&d=…>) at the Institute of Governmental Studies, Berkeley Institute of Data Science (BIDS), and the Department of Sociology has an opening for a 2-year post-doctoral position beginning June 2023 on evaluating eviction outcomes during the pandemic and teaching computational social science. The successful candidate will be appointed part-time as a postdoc, with approximately two-thirds time devoted to research over the course of two-years, and part-time as a lecturer. The eviction project is a HUD funded grant that investigates how the U.S. Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) impacted eviction outcomes using a novel longitudinal eviction database. This project will create one of the first longitudinal eviction databases using large public and private datasets, linking records across multiple datasets with personal identifiable information, and utilizing Bayesian and machine learning models to predict neighborhood and household drivers and outcomes of eviction. The purpose of this research is to identify the racial and gender disparities in eviction, displacement, and economic gaps that perpetuate unequal outcomes for different groups and inform policy. The candidate will co-author publications with the PI and team as well as be able to use this database for future research. The remaining candidate time will be devoted to teaching computational social science to graduate students in the social sciences and related fields in a two-semester course sequence that covers reproducibility and transparency, applied machine learning, natural language processing, and causal inference within the Department of Sociology. The candidate will be part of the Sociology, Urban Planning, and BIDS community, working closely with Dr. Tim Thomas (UDP) and Professor David Harding (Sociology), and will play a vital role in training students in the growing field of computational social science. The team will publish evidence-based research in academic journals and use these findings to directly inform national, state, and local government agencies on how to reduce eviction and housing inequity. Qualifications The ideal candidate will possess a PhD with a focus on computational social science, statistics, and/or data science training in a social science field such as sociology, demography, urban analytics, or other related fields. The ideal candidate will be proficient in machine learning, Bayesian statistics, natural language processing, causal inference, and population research with preferred skills in R, Python, Git, and Unix. Applicants must expect to have a PhD in hand before starting this position, ideally June 1, 2023 but later summer starts are possible for well-qualified candidates. How to apply Deadline: April 1, 2023. Applicants should do BOTH of the following: * Apply to UC Berkeley's Sociology Lecturer Pool, including CV, 1-page teaching statement, 1-page diversity statement, and list of 3-5 references here: https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF03777<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__aprecruit.berkeley.edu…> * Email a CV and cover letter to Tim Thomas (timthomas(a)berkeley.edu<mailto:timthomas@berkeley.edu>) and David Harding (dharding(a)berkeley.edu<mailto:dharding@berkeley.edu>). ___________________________ Tim Thomas, PhD Pronouns: he/him Research Director Urban Displacement Project<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__urbandisplacement.org_…> Director Eviction Research Network<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__evictionresearch.net_&…> Research Training Lead BIDS CSSTP<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__bids.berkeley.edu_rese…> University of California, Berkeley Schedule a meeting<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__calendly.com_timthomas…> ___________________________
