The postdoctoral scholar will work with the faculty of the Program in

Scholars have exceptional resources to facilitate teaching and research.
They will have access to administrative, research, and computing support
staff in the Program, the computing environment needed for teaching and
research, and travel funding.  They will also have access to the
Institute's survey infrastructure that conducts local and national
surveys in multiple modes and the University's outstanding research
facilities.

The initial appointment will be for one year, with the possibility of a
second year of funding.  The salary and benefits are competitive.

Review of applications begins as they are received, and continues until
the position is filled.  Interested persons should send a letter of
application indicating background in survey methodology, career goals,
and academic qualifications together with a curriculum vita, and three
letters of recommendation to Frederick Conrad, Program in Survey
