    About the Department


    The Division of the Social Sciences established the Social Sciences Research Center (SSRC) in December 2017, with a mission to advance and accelerate social science research and maximize its innovation and impact.

    Our funding and activities are designed to foster teambased and multimethod collaborative approaches to understanding complex, interdisciplinary questions that will help shape the emerging fields and subfields of the social sciences.

    Through its work across five pillars of research support and engagement—Research Development, Research Funding, Programming and Events, Broader Impacts, and Shared Space—SSRC addresses the rapidly evolving and growing needs for research infrastructure across the social sciences.

    SSRC functions as a hub for researchers across the division to access resources that support their work.

    As such, SSRC has experience in leveraging University facilities to best serve the wide variety of operational and research needs in SSD; this position will build on this experience to provide research and administrative support across divisional centers, programs, and research teams.
