We are hiring a postdoc to work on research projects in our Applied
Statistics Center. ?There are several projects going on including the
following:
Political science: ?Estimating public opinion in subsets of the
population (for example, school vouchers are more popular among richer
whites and poorer minorities); Connections between state-level opinion
and state policies; Understanding economic attitudes, social
attitudes, and voting; Social networks and political polarization.
Methods and computation: ?Poststratification of sample surveys;
Missing-data imputation; Hierarchical models for logistic regressions
with deep interactions; Varying-intercept, varying-slope regression
models; Computation for multilevel regression.
Applicants should have experience with Bayesian methods, a willingness
to program, and an interest in learning. Applications will be
considered as they arrive. ?The application consisting of cover
letter, cv and a selection of published or unpublished articles should
be emailed to asc.coordinator at
stat.columbia.edu. Please also arrange
for three letters of recommendation to be sent to the same email
address.
This is an exciting place to work: our research group involves several
faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduates working on a
wide range of interesting applied problems. We also have strong links
to the Earth Institute, the Center for Computational Learning Systems,
and the Columbia Population Research Center, as well as to Statistics,
Political Science, and other academic departments at Columbia. As a
postdoc here, you will have an opportunity to work on collaborative
projects on theory, application, computation, and graphics. You can
talk to our current and former postdocs if you want to hear how great
it is to work here. Positions are usually for two years. Columbia
University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.
