Position Description | The Digital, Data, and Design (D^3) Institute at Harvard is accepting applications for multiple postdoctoral fellows to work on research activities at our newly formed research labs. D^3 will have a formal launch in July 2022 with 10 newly minted labs that will provide cutting edge research faced by academics and practitioners. For more information on D^3, please visit https://d3.harvard.edu . The postdoctoral fellows will work under the direct supervision of faculty Principal Investigators and Lab Manager of each lab. D^3 is looking for candidates with diverse backgrounds and/or new perspectives. There are no teaching requirements for these open positions. The Tech For All Lab, led by Professors Tarun Khanna and Rem Koning, is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow. The lab aims to broaden the benefits of digital innovation and entrepreneurship to include more people in developing economies, women, people of color, and those in economically disadvantaged circumstances or regions. The lab will shed light on how digitization, data, and design can create value for firms and consumers who are often overlooked by, or who are simply the last to benefit from, new technologies. A typical empirical project involves refining a research question, designing an experiment or survey, analyzing historical and experimental data, and writing targeted at peer reviewed social science journals. Candidates should have some familiarity with: · Causal analysis and experimental design: difference-in-differences and fixed effects models, instrumental variables, treatment selection, power analysis, analysis of attrition and non-compliance, analysis of heterogenous effects and interference; · Programming/scripting knowledge suitable for processing raw data for analysis (e.g., text manipulation); · One or more computational environments for statistical analysis (e.g., MATLAB, R, or Stata); · Writing papers for management and economics journals; · Working with field research, understanding how to work with partner organizations, including government or companies.
