Hi Gary: Here is a message that could go out to
potential RA's.
I am looking for a research assistant to work on a large-scale
project on political inequality I am conducting in collaboration with Henry
Brady (of Berkeley) and Kay Schlozman (of Boston College). It is a follow up
to our book, VOICE AND EQUALITY, published about a decade ago. It continues
our analysis of the nature, extent, sources, and consequences of political
inequality in current US politics, and extends our concerns to include more
historical and comparative material, as well as focusing on changes over
time. In addition, we have developed a large data base of organized
interests in D.C., and are looking at inequality in terms of the needs and
preferences that are represented by the interest group system.
We would be interested in someone with good quantitative skills as
applied to survey type data. These would include statistical abilities, but
also an ability to search out data sets on that are on our subject, and to
mine multiple sources of data.
There would be work starting this summer, especially in July, but
possibly August as well. And continuing work next academic year. (The work
starting in the fall is not contingent on having worked this summer, but a
combination would be nice.) The amount of time per week and schedules can be
somewhat flexible.
If you are interested, please send me a note with a cv (or
whatever).
