Opportunity for Post-Doc Scholars
Professor Tom Clark seeks a postdoctoral fellow for assistance and collaboration on research involving American prosecutors, policing, and criminal justice.

Strong candidates will have their PhD completed prior to the start of the appointment, a dissertation or other research focusing on American politics, particularly in the areas of institutions, law and judicial politics, or political economy; excellent programming skills; and a good background in quantitative methods.
In-person or hybrid work is required. For those committing to in-person work, office space will be made available.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
To Apply, Please Submit:
Cover letter detailing the reasons for the applicant’s interest

Compensation will be commensurate with experience. Stanford University provides pay ranges representing its good faith estimate of what the university reasonably expects to pay for a position. The pay offered to a selected candidate will be determined based on factors such as (but not limited to) the scope and responsibilities of the position, the qualifications of the selected candidate, departmental budget availability, internal equity, geographic location, and external market pay for comparable jobs.
