Postdoctoral Fellowship in Social Impacts of Technology at Clemson University

Dr. Shelia Cotten, a Provost’s Distinguished Professor and the Associate Vice President for Research Development beginning August 1, 2020 at Clemson University, is seeking to hire a Postdoctoral Fellow for a 1 year position (there is a possibility it may be extended for an additional year, depending upon successful performance and project status). The position is available beginning August 2020. The postdoc will work with Dr. Cotten to analyze data from existing research projects and to collect survey, focus group, interview, and observational data on upcoming research projects. Projects focus on technology usage across the life course and the social, educational, health, and workforce impacts of this usage, thus experience studying either specific age groups, and/or the impacts of technology use, would be preferable but is not required. 
 
Applicants must have defended their dissertation prior to beginning the postdoctoral fellowship. A doctoral degree in Sociology, Psychology, Communication, New Media, Information Science or a related field is required. Candidates must have (1) strong quantitative and qualitative methodological and analytical skills, (2) experience writing manuscripts, and (3) good organizational and time management skills. Prior publications and grant writing experience will enhance the application.

The Postdoctoral Fellow is a 12 month, full-time appointment, with salary approximately $50,000 depending upon qualifications. Benefits are also provided. 

Please submit the following application materials as one pdf file via email to Dr. Shelia Cotten CottenClemsonPostdoc at gmail.com:

Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until a suitable candidate is selected.
Hiring is subject to final approval from Clemson University.
