Join IPL's Postdoctoral Program at Stanford! About the Lab The Immigration Policy Lab (IPL) at Stanford University designs and evaluates policies to advance the integration and well-being of refugees and immigrants worldwide. By producing new evidence and translating it into creative solutions, we seek to improve refugees’ and immigrants’ opportunities and strengthen their host communities. Using large datasets, mixed-methods research designs, and cutting-edge analytical tools, we bring evidence to bear on the urgent problems facing immigrants, refugees, and their service providers. We engage with community-based organizations as well as local, state, national, and international government agencies to test the effectiveness of current policies. In addition, we co-design new policies, programs, and tools that ultimately affect millions of migrants, as well as increase the economic and social prosperity of the communities in which they live. Our talented team of faculty, professional staff, postdocs, and students has created a research model that combines the quality and rigor of an academic lab with the efficiency and innovation of a civic-tech startup. Position We are looking for a small cohort of postdoctoral fellows to join our team for the 2023-2024 academic year and help grow our exciting portfolio of projects. The postdocs will analyze unique and underutilized administrative data on refugees and immigrants using advanced methods of causal inference; conduct qualitative analysis of immigration integration initiatives; and/or design and implement evaluations of migration policies and programs around the globe. They will work closely with IPL faculty Jens Hainmueller, David Laitin, Jeremy Weinstein, and Tomás Jiménez on projects related to their area of interest and expertise. Current opportunities include:
Postdocs work side-by-side with faculty and professional staff in an interdisciplinary, highly collaborative team immersed in a hub of experiential research activity. While the majority of the postdocs’ time will be dedicated to collaborative lab projects, there is also an opportunity to develop related independent research. The initial appointment will be for one year (with potential to renew for a second year). Salary is standardized based on Stanford University guidelines. Benefits are provided. Qualifications Postdoctoral Research Fellows will have completed a Ph.D. in any discipline received within the last three years, with a preference for political science, economics, sociology, anthropology, public health/health policy, statistics, or computer science. They should also possess one of the following:
