Postdoctoral Fellow

Stanford Impact Labs is accepting applications for its third annual postdoctoral fellowship program, beginning in fall 2023, in partnership with four research teams across Stanford University. We are seeking a diverse pool of applicants who wish to join a team-based, collaborative community that values the different skills, expertise, and perspectives necessary to design, conduct, sustain, and disseminate public impact research. We particularly encourage applications from women, minority, and first-generation PhD recipients, as well as candidates from a broad diversity of PhD-granting institutions.

The postdoctoral fellowship program is core to the mission of Stanford Impact Labs. The program seeks to enable a diverse community of scholars to engage in collaborative, impact-focused research, and to publish in competitive journals to elevate their own scholarship and public impact scholarship more broadly. Fellows will work across a portfolio of research projects in conjunction with the faculty and team to help advance research and partnerships that address specific societal problems, alongside their own research projects.

This year’s postdoctoral positions are available with the following Stanford research teams, each of which addresses challenging social problems. These research teams all demonstrate a commitment to public impact, a focus on partnership and collaboration, and opportunity value to prospective postdoctoral fellows. The Economic Inclusion project, led by Professors David Grusky and Juliana Bidadanure; the Fletcher Lab, led by Professor Sarah Fletcher; the Stanford History Education Group, led by Professor Antero Garcia; and the VMWare Women’s Leadership Innovation Lab, led by Professor Shelley Correll.

One postdoctoral fellow will be selected to work with each of the respective faculty mentors and research teams. Fellows will have the opportunity to engage with one another and with the broader Stanford Impact Labs team and community, and will participate in professional development, cohort-building, and other programming activities. Qualifications, evaluation criteria, and application instructions are listed in detail in each open position description.
