Open Postdoctoral Position
Professor Lisa Gennetian, Duke Sanford, is seeking a postdoctoral research scholar in economics, public policy or a related discipline, to lead and conduct analyses of policies and programs that target poverty, inequality, and economic disadvantage, particularly among young children. The postdoc will work closely with principal investigators on two strains of research. The first is the Baby’s First Years study, a randomized control trial investigating the impacts of a monthly unconditional cash transfer program on child development, subjective well-being, and economic behavior. The second line of work involves research for the Center for Research on Hispanic Families and Children, investigating relationships between policy design and program participation among Latino families and children facing poverty and economic scarcity. More information and application is available online.
