Postdoctoral Fellowships in Data-driven Research in Social Sciences

The newly established multidisciplinary program on “Governance Analytics” at PSL Research University, which is hosted by the University of Paris-Dauphine, has four openings for postdoctoral fellowships in data-driven social sciences. The program aims at establishing a group of young scholars specialized in data gathering, databases integration and data processing with the aims of contributing to the exploration of governance and regulation of organizations, institutions and markets. The pluri-disciplinary team will be responsible for providing assistance to research teams in social science in designing research protocols, contributing to on-going research projects based on advanced methodologies, and developing original tools (algorithm, databases, treatments) to study the various dimension of governance.

Candidates must have either a solid background on data-driven research in social sciences, or in computer sciences or mathematics with an interest for economic, managerial, political or sociological issues. Expertise in the analysis of organizations or institutions is preferable but not required.

Review of applications will begin July 13th, 2016 and continue until the positions are closed. More information on the positions and the application procedure is available here.
