| Position Summary | POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN SOCIOLOGY, INDIANA UNIVERSITY The Department of Sociology at Indiana University, Bloomington seeks a talented, highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with a background in immigration, race/ethnicity, social movements, computational social science, quantitative methods, or qualitative methods. The postdoctoral fellow will work closely with Dr. Dina Okamoto and conduct research related to projects on the cultural construction and political participation of immigrants. These projects examine how immigrants in the U.S. are framed in the media; how demographic and political contexts shape immigrant organizing and anti-immigrant activity; and how organizations build coalitions (this latter project may involve interviews). This fellowship will advance the career of an early-stage researcher by providing opportunities to conduct collaborative research, and by connecting with faculty in the Department of Sociology and the Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society (CRRES). Strong applicants will demonstrate mastery of computational, quantitative, or qualitative methods; and research interests in the areas of immigration and race/ethnicity. Experience with working on a research team is a plus. Applicants belonging to underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.

Postdoctoral fellows will also receive Indiana University health benefits. This position may be renewable for a second year upon satisfactory performance and funding availability. The fellow will be expected to learn new research skills, develop research, and engage with others effectively on a research team. The fellow will also have an opportunity to participate in Sociology department activities and seminars. Application Process.
