Position description

The Berkeley Center for American Democracy, led by Professor David Broockman at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB), is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar for research projects on the topics of political polarization, public opinion, and/or political culture in the United States. The position is a full-time research opportunity that provides freedom to develop one's own research part-time. It is expected that the postdoctoral scholar will actively publish research findings and present research. In addition, the postdoctoral scholar will:

  1. Help develop the Center's strategy to counter political polarization in consultation with Center faculty and other stakeholders, with the expectation of developing a strategic plan for addressing mass polarization. This plan will particularly focus on the role of American national identity and should result in a paper that can be submitted for academic publication.
  2. Collaborate with Center faculty affiliates on current and new research projects around addressing polarization.
  3. Support the Center's work to communicate with stakeholders and the public around solutions for addressing mass polarization.

The Center for American Democracy supports research on political institutions, political behavior, and political economy in the United States. The Center focuses on research of broad importance to American society, such as the political roots of rising inequality, the political and historical roots of our criminal justice and incarceration crisis, and the causes of political polarization.
