    Princeton University's Initiative for Data-Driven Social Science (DDSS) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate.

    DDSS supports technical and methodological innovation in quantitative and computational social science, addressing a diverse array of new data and analytic challenges, facilitating impactful multidisciplinary collaboration, scholarly advancement, and the creation of tools and public goods.

    Requirements Applicants must have (or expect to have) a PhD in the social sciences, statistics, computer science, or related fields, and their interests must fall at the technical forefront of quantitative social science.

    Candidates should offer state-of-the-art technical or methodological skills, applying innovative techniques in the examination of substantive social science research questions.

    In addition to innovation, candidates will be evaluated on their potential to create public goods and their capacity for interdisciplinary engagement.

    Responsibilities This role's emphasis is on making substantive technical and methodological contributions that either directly or indirectly support DDSS-supported projects or its mission.

    Candidates will be able to apply and further develop their technical skills in a dynamic research environment. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work closely with our research software engineers and other research staff.

    Projects may include software package creation and maintenance, data engineering, development and/or implementation of advanced statistical methodologies, and supporting research on high performance and cloud computing.

    The successful candidate will also be expected to offer 2-3 advanced technical or methodological workshops each semester, assist in organizing research-based events (e.g., speaker series, symposia, or reading groups), present their work at research methods and field-specific seminars, and offer consultation to faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers from the social sciences on topics related to the candidate's area of expertise.

    One day per week can be dedicated to independent research. Postdoctoral research associates work under the direct supervision of the DDSS Director and Director for Research and Strategy. Candidates must have experience with software package development and maintenance in R.

    Additional experience in the following are particularly welcome:
    record linkage/entity resolution; data privacy techniques; package development and maintenance; large data processing and high performance computing. Advanced knowledge of R is required. Intermediate knowledge in Python and/or at least one SQL dialect and/or C/C++ is strongly preferred.
