Princeton University, Kahneman-Treisman Center for Behavioral Science & Public Policy - Sugarman Practitioner in Residence/Visiting Fellow [Princeton]
“The Center seeks candidates for our inaugural Sugarman Practitioner in Residence position with an expected start date in January 2022, or soon thereafter. The successful applicant will be appointed to a term of up to 18 months based on their individual circumstances and availability. The ideal Sugarman 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."
“The Practitioners in Residence we envision may range from young 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.
