*Subject:* Seeking Postdoc for DACA Study



Dear Colleagues,

I'm writing to share a job posting for a one-year postdoc with my National
UnDACAmented Research Project, a multi-sited, longitudinal study to better
understand how a range of young
immigrants are accessing the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
program and how DACAmented young adults are experiencing their new status.

I know this announcement comes late, but if you have, or know of, recent
Ph.D.s who you think would be a good fit and could relocate to Cambridge
for the year, please encourage them to apply. I've attached a pdf of the
announcement and have included it below. Candidates with a familiarity with
the immigration literature, a command of qualitative methods and analysis,
and strong writing skills are especially encouraged to apply.



I would be happy to answer any questions you or your students might have.

Thanks in advance for circulating the announcement.

Roberto


*Postdoctoral Fellow*

The National UnDACAmented Research Project (NURP) at the Harvard Graduate
School of Education is seeking a post-doctoral fellow with an interest in
immigration policy and immigrant incorporation. The post-doctoral fellow
will work as part of a large research team on a multi-sited, longitudinal
study that aims to better understand how a range of young immigrants are
accessing President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
program and how DACAmented young adults are experiencing their new status.

The primary goal of the project is to understand how DACA impacts the
everyday lives of eligible young people. The primary objective of this
post-doctoral position will be to manage and analyze NURP’s interview-based
qualitative data set. The post-doctoral fellow will also be involved in
writing and publishing, and will have flexibility to develop her or his own
projects in conjunction with the Principle Investigator.

Successful candidates will have recently completed their doctoral degree in
education, sociology or a closely related field in the social sciences by
the time of application or starting date. Other requirements for the
position include familiarity with the research literature on immigration, a
command of qualitative methods and analysis, experience managing
qualitative data sets, and strong writing skills. A prior publication
record is a plus.

The post-doctoral fellow will be based at the Harvard Graduate School of
Education in Cambridge, Massachusetts and will work in close collaboration
with Professor Roberto G. Gonzales and the National UnDACAmented Research
Project research team. This is a full-time, 12-month appointment and will
start at the earliest date possible.

The application deadline is August 1, 2016. Please send a CV, a statement
of interest, and names and contact information of three references to:
