Your Role

The successful candidate will help lead the "Scientifically-informed Policy Analysis" work package, which brings policy analysis and experimental methods together to empirically test the effect of policy interventions. To do so the candidate will liaise, on behalf of the PROPEL project, with researchers and policymakers at LISER, the University of Luxembourg, and the greater Luxembourg policy community. All project-based research will have an international focus. Initial experimental designs will focus on Luxembourg as a case country.

The primary tasks of the selected candidate will include:

• Project-based research and theory development;

• Development and deployment of policy-based assessments that use experimental methods;

• Data collection and analysis associated with policy-based assessments, which may include but are not limited to surveys and focus groups;

• Outreach to stakeholders;

• Interim reporting of results;

• Publications in peer-reviewed journals;

• Contribution to team-based tasks, collaborations, and project management;

• Other research and/or teaching tasks to be determined in relation to the needs of the project and the interests of the candidate, including support of project activities (e.g. workshops).

Your Profile

• PhD in political science, sociology, economics, public/social policy or a related field in the social sciences;

• Sound conceptual and empirical mooring in inequality studies and the welfare state with an interest in the ways in which housing policies reproduce economic, social, and political inequalities ;

• Training and experience with experimental approaches, methods based in causal inference, data collection, and quantitative data analysis using Stata;

• Experience in the design, implementation, and/or analysis of "social experiments" is a valuable asset;

• Strong project management skills with a desire to help lead a multi-year work package and liaise with multiple stakeholders;

• Commitment to a team-based research environment with an ability to work independently and meet deadlines;

• Fluency in English, knowledge of French, German and other languages is a valuable asset.

About the PROPEL Project

The PROPEL project is seeking a team of committed scholars who, jointly, will use interdisciplinary and multi-method approaches to (1) identify the political inputs that shape housing markets and housing policies, (2) trace the ways in which housing markets and policies generate economic, social, and political inequalities in high-income OECD countries, and (3) propose policy-relevant and evidence-informed solutions to address contemporary inequalities. The project focuses on countries primarily but not exclusively in Europe and North America. It examines economic, social, and political inequality across important subgroups including younger and older generations, larger and smaller families, different racial and ethnic groups, and households with varying levels of income and wealth. It links housing to other related policy areas such as employment and pension policies. Each major work package of the project adopts a qualitative, quantitative, or experimental design and will be jointly led by the PI and one additional member of the PROPEL team.

We Offer

• Opportunity to work on an innovative project that seeks to both understand and reduce inequalities;

• A highly competitive salary;

• A supportive academic team;

• A dynamic, multicultural environment.

In Short

• Contract Type: Fixed-term Contract (36 months)

• Work Hours: Full-time position (40h per week)

• Starting date: Summer 2021

• Location: LISER, Belval Campus Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg
