We are continually recruiting new lab members. Below are some details for interested graduate students, postdocs and predocs.

Predocs: we hire most years and tend to post job openings in winter. We look for folks with strong quantitative background with extensive coding experience in R/python and an interest in quantitative social science/ environmental science research. Most but not all go on to PhD programs. A careful cross-reference of our “people” page and “publications” page would indicate that most predocs leave with their name on multiple publications. This is indeed our goal.

Graduate students: we draw graduate students primarily from two programs:

• the brand new Global Environmental Policy PhD program

• the EIPER PhD program

Both are cohort programs, so you apply to the program rather than to a lab specifically.

Postdocs: we encourage interested postdoc applicants to check out the impressive array of postdoc fellowships available at Stanford. The ones with relevance to our labs’ work, and from which we’ve drawn postdocs in the past, include:

• Food Security and Environment

• Precourt energy

• Human and planetary health

• King Center on Global Development

• Stanford Data Science

• Doerr School Dean’s Fellowship

Occasionally we have project-specific funding and fund postdocs directly that way, but timing of this sort of funding is inconsistent and so our preference is to bring folks in on fellowship when possible. Interested postdocs should check out the above - each appeals to a slightly different phenotype, and many folks could be a fit for multiple. Our group has drawn postdocs from a very wide set of disciplines in the past (econ, polisci, atmospheric science, data science, public health) and hopes to continue to do so.

Anyone is welcome to reach out to lab members or to Marshall directly, although email response rates can be low (which you should not take personally). Thanks!
