Offer Description
The Research and Expertise Centre for Survey Methodology (RECSM) of Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) in Barcelona is offering the coordinator position starting from April 2024.
RECSM is a multidisciplinary centre focusing on research in survey methodology, data analysis, and (quasi-)experimental research designs. It is formed of different research groups and researchers, who are part of the Department of Political and Social Sciences at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in Barcelona. The centre organizes different activities, including seminars/webinars, a winter and a summer school in survey methodology and data analysis.
Our central research topics deal with improving survey questions and questionnaires, conducting web surveys, improving causal inference with observational data and analysing survey data with advanced statistical methods. Furthermore, our research applies survey data analysis tools to substantive research topics, particularly in the fields of Political Behaviour, Social Demography and Social- Personality Psychology.
Please note that this is not a position for researchers but for managers with some experience in research centers.
