Applications are invited for a Research Officer (Postdoctoral Researcher), tenable from 2nd January 2019 - 1st August 2020 for 19 months.


The successful candidate must have a keen interest in political behaviour, advanced training in quantitative statistical methods, enthusiasm about learning new analytical techniques, and have a high level of proficiency in STATA and/or R.  Ideally, the successful candidate will also have experience of analysing large-N survey data and/or designing and analysing experiments (survey-embedded and/or laboratory).

The project combines a large-N cross-national analysis of citizens’ responses to choices offered by political parties with micro-level experimental work.
