Tulane University is advertising an 18-month Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Sociology in New Orleans, United States, tied to the launch of a new center focused on the future of work.

Methodological approaches of all kinds are welcome.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Sociology or a closely related discipline by the start date, along with evidence of scholarly productivity and the ability to teach effectively at the undergraduate level.
