Stanford University

Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

Stanford Impact Labs is an initiative at Stanford University that invests in highly motivated teams of researchers and practitioners—impact labs—to generate new insights and solutions to persistent social problems. To begin in the Fall of 2023, Stanford Impact Labs is now accepting applications to the two-year postdoctoral fellowship program in collaboration with four research teams.

For this position, the postdoc will be working with the Economic Inclusion Project. The purpose of this project—a joint undertaking of the Stanford Basic Income Lab (BIL), the Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality (CIP), and the Stanford Center for Population Health Sciences—is to examine the effects of (a) the new guaranteed income pilots in California, and (b) the planned Baby Bonds pilots in California. Using a mix of survey, administrative, qualitative, and experimental approaches, the project will equip state and local government partners with gold-standard estimates of the effects of expanding these pilots into expansive programs for all low-wealth and low-income children. We are currently recruiting a postdoctoral scholar with a strong background in statistical analysis, causal inference, and machine learning.
