POSITION DESCRIPTION
A postdoctoral position in the Gender and Sexuality Studies Department at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) to work with a research team under the direction of Dr. Brandon Andrew Robinson. Dr. Robinson will train and mentor the postdoctoral researcher throughout the appointment. The appointment starts summer 2022 or as soon as possible and will be for one year with the opportunity for another 1year reappointment contingent on performance and availability funding.
This opportunity will involve working on an NSF-funded research project about the role of non-parental relatives in providing support and housing stability for LGBTQ youth who leave or are kicked out of their parental homes. While this study will take place in both South Texas and the Inland Empire, the postdoctoral researcher will only be the project manager for the Inland Empire part of the study. The study will recruit 40 LGBTQ youth experiencing housing instability in the Inland Empire. The study will begin with an initial in-depth interview with all 40 youth. The study will then follow all 40 youth for 10 months, sending them short surveys at the end of each month. The study will then conclude with another in-depth interview. The postdoctoral research will oversee managing the entire California part of the study including: designing and implementing the study, collecting data, coordinating participant compensation, analyzing data, working with undergraduate researchers on the project, and collaborating on the writing articles from the study.
Successful candidate should have minimum qualifications of an M.A. degree in a related field and be at least ABD at time of application. A Ph.D. is required at time of start date. Candidates should have scholarly expertise on topics related to the field of Gender and Sexuality Studies, LGBTQ Studies, and social scientific qualitative methods, especially interviewing.
