The PAINT project centers on two understudied groups whose socioeconomic exclusion has major economic and social costs: ex-felons and refugees. It aims to identify levers for their integration by studying, among other questions:
a) when can entrepreneurship be a vehicle of socioeconomic mobility for individuals with criminal records?
b) which characteristics of host communities facilitate refugee resettlement?
c) which firms hire ex-felons and refugees, how do firms perform when they do so, and which interventions may encourage employers to recruit these groups?
Each postdoc position is a 2.5-year position (30 months) with 100% research obligations (i.e. no teaching obligations), starting in September 2022. If the successful applicants wish to teach, some teaching opportunities can be explored within the department. The postdoc researchers will work closely with Vera Rocha from SI. Short research stays at other collaborating institutions and visiting periods hosted by renowned scholars will be included.

The ideal candidate for the position will be a recent PhD graduate with strong technical skills in data management and econometric methods and with deep interest in these research questions. Experience with experimental methods is also a strength.
