The University of Arizona’s (UA) Center for Digital Society and Data 
Studies, in coordination with faculty from UA’s School of Information 
and School of Government and Public Policy (SGPP), welcomes applications 
for three (3) postdoctoral fellows beginning in Late October or Early 
November, 2016 and ending August, 2017 (these are 10-month positions). 
The fellows will work with Professors Catherine Brooks, Samara Klar, and 
Yotam Shmargad on a series of projects related to government 
surveillance, technology use in developing countries, and the role of 
Big Data in political elections. Working with faculty mentors, fellows 
will write scholarly research papers, produce opinion pieces for popular 
media outlets, and communicate with stakeholders such as government 
officials and think tanks. Fellows will also support proposal 
development for external grant opportunities that are aligned with these 
research areas. Fellows should have strong methodological backgrounds 
and writing skills. We invite applicants from across the methodological 
spectrum, though priority will be given to those with expertise in 
statistical modeling, experiments in the lab or field, surveys, or 
ethnographic interviews. The goals of this project are to generate 
research findings that will inform policy, create new avenues for 
advocacy, and inform the broader public.
