The Center for Research on Computation and Society is Accepting Applications for 2011-2012 Positions

From our colleagues at the Center for Research on Computation and Society:

The Harvard Center for Research on Computation and Society (CRCS) solicits applications for its Postdoctoral Fellows and Visiting Scholars Programs for the 2011-2012 academic year. Postdoctoral Fellows are given an annual salary of $55,000 for up to three years to engage in a program of original research, and are provided with additional funds for travel and research support. Visiting Scholars often come with their own support, but CRCS can occasionally offer supplemental funding.

We seek researchers who wish to interact with both computer scientists and colleagues from other disciplines, and have a demonstrated interest in connecting their research agenda with societal issues.  We are particularly interested in candidates with interests in Privacy and Security or Economics and Computer Science, and those who may be interested in engaging in one of our ongoing projects:

• A Health Data Marketplace
• Privacy for Social Science Research
• Privacy and Security in Targeted Advertising
• Trustworthy Crowdsourcing

Harvard University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. We are particularly interested in attracting women and underrepresented groups to participate in CRCS.  For further information about the Center and its activities, see http://crcs.seas.harvard.edu/.
