The Department of Political Science at the University of Zurich invites applications for a Postdoc position in the research group of Lucas Leemann. We offer excellent research support in a vibrant research community and are committed to advancing young scholars’ careers. The department aims to increase the diversity of its members and thus explicitly invites applications from women and other traditionally underrepresented groups.
We are seeking a post-doctoral researcher with research experience and/or interest in survey statistics and political participation. The future post holder will work on modeling survey data for small spatial areas (neighborhoods). Successful applicants will have a substantive interest in political participation and have experience with more advanced statistical modeling. Ideally, candidates have prior experience with more simple correction approaches such as raking and post-stratification but also with more advanced techniques such as multilevel regression with post-stratification (MrP).
