Postdoc Opportunity UC Berkeley Criminal Law and Justice Center - deadline 2/26

by Matteson, Jessica M.

FYI Dear colleagues, with apologies for the mass email, please circulate to relevant grad student lists and other possible candidates. Thanks, Dave Harding The Criminal Law & Justice Center<https://www.law.berkeley.edu/research/criminal-law-and-justice-center/> at Berkeley Law School (https://www.law.berkeley.edu/research/criminal-law-and-justice-center/) is seeking to hire a postdoctoral researcher for a two year term. The Berkeley Criminal Law & Justice Center is a hub for research, education and advocacy. Blending a data-driven approach with zealous advocacy, the center offers empirical insights into the intricacies of the legal system and policy outcomes. We harness the wealth of perspectives, experiences and expertise that our students and faculty bring to the table. The center strives to empower marginalized communities and impacted individuals and is dedicated to closing the gap between ideals of justice and the realities faced by crime and incarceration. Serving as a collaborative hub for advocacy and reform, the center uplifts the voices of formerly incarcerated individuals and reform movement leaders, enriches law school curriculum with criminal justice offerings, fosters research collaboration, and works to connect scholars with real-world practitioners. Energizing these efforts, we conduct research and provide recommendations for policy, legislative initiatives, pilot programs and litigation coalitions to assist in dislodging structural inequities and transforming the criminal justice landscape. We organize conferences and publish legal briefs and policy papers to engage stakeholders, promote dialogue and catalyze change. The postdoctoral researcher will collaborate on multiple research projects related to criminal justice reform and work under the supervision of Director Chesa Boudin<https://www.law.berkeley.edu/our-faculty/faculty-profiles/chesa-boudin/#tab…> and the center's faculty advisory board<https://www.law.berkeley.edu/research/criminal-law-and-justice-center/about…>. Responsibilities include securing and cleaning data, performing analyses, supervising student research assistants, and writing up and presenting results to both multidisciplinary academic and policy audiences. The primary research project is a natural language processing examination of bias in news coverage of criminal justice issues in the Bay Area in partnership with Professor David Harding<https://sociology.berkeley.edu/faculty/david-j-harding> (sociology). Other research projects on which the Center may require assistance include (1) measuring outcomes from a statutory program that creates a vehicle for diverting criminal cases into treatment programs, (2) evaluating the quality of indigent defense service provision in rural California counties, and (3) analyzing training and policy documents from California district attorney offices. Applications from PhD candidates and recent PhD recipients are welcome, and any disciplinary background will be considered. The ideal candidate will work well on a team, have at least basic knowledge of the criminal legal system, and be proficient with natural language processing, Python, and econometric research tools. Expected start date is between April and August of 2024. Applicants should email a cover letter, list of references, writing sample, and a CV to cljc(a)berkeley.edu<mailto:cljc@berkeley.edu>. Review of applications will begin February 26.
