About this position

Rutgers Democracy Lab (RDL) at Rutgers University–Camden invites applications for a Postdoctoral Associate in Civically Engaged Research. The postdoctoral scholar will work closely with Dr. Ashley E. Nickels, Camden Campus Director of RDL and Professor of Political Science, on teaching, collaborative research, and democracy-building in the Philadelphia–Camden–South Jersey region.

The research agenda examines how people come together across differences to deliberate, solve shared problems, and participate in governing their communities. The project centers on local democracy-building, participatory and deliberative democracy, dialogue, civic engagement, and community-engaged research. Community partners will serve as co-creators who help shape research questions, study design, interpretation of findings, and decisions about how results are used.

Approximately three-quarters of the appointment will support RDL teaching and collaborative research, while the remaining time will be protected for the scholar’s own research agenda. The postdoc will help build partnerships with community leaders, shape the emerging research program, and co-author resulting scholarship.

In teaching, the postdoc will co-teach a year-long community-engaged learning course with Dr. Nickels. Modeled on RDL’s Think and Do Tank, the course connects students with community partners to address public problems and provides experience in experiential, dialogue-based, and community-engaged pedagogy. The postdoc will also mentor students and participate in RDL events and programming across Rutgers campuses.

RDL is housed within the Eagleton Institute of Politics and works across Rutgers’ New Brunswick, Newark, and Camden campuses. The postdoc will be based in the Division of Impact and Community Engagement at Rutgers University–Camden, a research-intensive, civically engaged urban campus with established partnerships throughout Camden and the surrounding region.
