QUANTITATIVE R.A. POSITION FOR "DIVERSITY,
EQUALITY AND COMMUNITY"
RESEARCH PROJECT
Hours: 8-12 hours/week on average.
Prof. Robert Putnam seeks interested and skilled quantitative R.A for
multi-year research project on diversity, equality, and social capital.
Quantitative analysis is largely statistical survey analysis of the
multi-level Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey (30,000
respondents across 42 diverse communities). Some other US and non-US
data-sets will also be deployed. Work is interesting substantively and
challenging methodologically.
This research position will last for academic year 2004-2005, with the
possibility of a summer continuation. Work time is entirely flexible,
subject to making steady progress on the project.
If interested please contact Tom Sander (tom_sander(a)harvard.edu) ASAP with:
* your significant statistical (esp. SPSS/HLM) and quantitative
experience (and related work experience);
* when you would be available and for how many hours per week; and
* references for your statistical and analytic skills and experience.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Bob Putnam
