Research Associate (Post-Doctoral Fellow) – Ph.D. Program in Environmental Psychology in New York, New York

The GC seeks a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Urban Studies, to be housed in the interdisciplinary Environmental Psychology Ph.D. Program. The Marilyn J. Gittell Post-doctoral Fellowship, established in honor of the late Political Science Professor at the GC, is for a social science Ph.D. working on areas that concerned Marilyn Gittell, especially research focused on cities, urban politics, public policy, democratic and civic engagement, social movements, citizenship and governance, and community practices, both domestically and abroad. This is a 1-year fellowship, with the possibility for one 1-year renewal.

The goal of the Gittell Post-Doctoral Fellowship program is to prepare researchers committed to understanding and addressing critical issues in community-engaged research, especially in urban settings. The Fellow will be expected to articulate and advance a research agenda based in the legacy of Marilyn Gittell’s work and help administer activities sponsored by the Marilyn J. Gittell Endowed Chair in Urban Studies. The Fellow serves in a key leadership and programming position within the Gittell Collective (http://gittellcollective.gc.cuny.edu/), based at the Graduate Center, and in the national URBAN research network (https://urbanresearchnetwork.org/).
