About The Position
Princeton University's Kahneman-Treisman Center for Behavioral Science & Public Policy is an interdisciplinary center that leverages the combined strengths of faculty and scholars across a range of disciplines-psychology, sociology, economics, machine learning, politics, among others-to help design behaviorally informed policies, practices, and products. The Center is pleased to announce the call for applications to the Sugarman Practitioner in Residence position with an expected start date in fall 2025 to be appointed to an initial term of 12 months at a salary of $9,000/month plus benefits, with optional extension based on performance and continued program funding. The ideal Resident will be pursuing a breakthrough solution to a society-relevant problem, the success of which depends on understanding certain aspects of human behavior, and which could benefit from the support, guidance, and mentorship of members of Princeton's academic community. Envisioned Residents may range from entrepreneurs, app developers, leaders of non-governmental organizations, and policy wonks, to activists, climate scientists, leaders of social, cultural, or health-related movements, architects, designers, urban planners, and so on. During the appointed term, Residents will be affiliated with Princeton University, but with no formal teaching responsibilities. Like an 'artist-in-residence' program, this position provides a sanctuary from everyday responsibilities that can impede breakthrough thinking, along with the opportunity to deepen engagement with the behavioral sciences and related policy tools through collaboration with university faculty.
