There's a cool applied postdoc position available at Berkeley, reach out to
Josh if you have questions.
Could you help spread the word about this new postdoc opportunity at UC
Berkeley: https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04845
The candidate gets two years of funding to work 50/50 on solo/joint
projects. I'm hoping to recruit someone with strong econ/CS/stats skills
who is interested in working on applied/real-world problems. People can
contact me directly with questions, or simply apply to BPS4.
Position description: We seek applicants pursuing a research agenda at the
intersection of computer science and applied economics, with
interdisciplinary training and interests in both topics. The successful
applicant will work on projects that are designed to address pressing
global policy issues, using a mix of quantitative and computational methods
(e.g., econometrics, data science, AI/ML). Examples of active projects
include, but are not limited to, developing theory and methods for robust
and equitable decision making in social settings; the use of machine
learning and digital data to guide resource allocation and related policies
in low-income countries; and creating and validating new techniques for
monitoring living standards and well-being in high-stakes policy
environments.
Thanks!
Josh
