*CEGA hiring postdoc for Kenya Life Panel Survey Project*

The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) seeks a postdoctoral scholar
with a PhD in economics, public health, public policy, statistics, or a
related field to work on the Kenya Life Panel Survey (KLPS) project. CEGA
will give preference to candidates with experience conducting primary data
collection, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, and also those with
experience related to randomized controlled trials with a focus on health,
education, cash transfers, and/or children.

Under the mentorship of CEGA Faculty Director Ted Miguel, the KLPS postdoc
will work with an existing research team to design and implement an
additional round of data collection for the Kenya Life Panel Survey. The
KLPS is a longitudinal data collection effort that has collected
information from Kenyan individuals in multiple rounds of data collection
starting in 2003, and has been used to study the impacts of various
embedded randomized controlled trials related to health, education,
training, and cash grants.  The upcoming KLPS round will include data
collection on adults and children.

The KLPS postdoc will work with the research team to:

-design new survey instruments for adults
-select and adapt a series of cognitive tests for pre-school and
school-aged children
-oversee training of the survey enumeration team, and monitor data quality
during field work
-conduct analysis and contribute to paper writing and dissemination of
results

The position is based in Berkeley, California, although the postdoc will be
expected to travel to Kenya periodically in order to assist in field work
preparations and monitoring. The initial commitment period will be 12
months, with the possibility for extension. Compensation is commensurate
with experience.

*To apply: *please send a brief cover letter, CV, writing sample, and
contact information for two academic references to jaguilar at berkeley.edu with
the subject “Application for KLPS postdoc”. Please include the subject
heading; without it your email message might be lost. Applications will be
reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
