> The Center on Poverty and Social Policy, at the Columbia School of Social
Work, is seeking a postdoctoral research scholar with a PhD in economics,
public policy, social work, sociology or a related discipline for a project
on national and state trends in poverty. The postdoc will work with faculty
and researchers to conduct new analyses of national and state trends in
poverty using an improved measure of poverty based on the supplemental
poverty measure (SPM) recently developed by the United States Census Bureau
and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The project will consider key
sub-groups as well as the overall population, and will also gather and take
into account data on state-level policies and cost-of-living. The
postdoctoral fellowship is for one year, with the option to renew for a
second year contingent on performance and funding.
