Dear GEP-ed Colleagues: With apologies for repeated postings, I am seeking your help to build as diverse and strong a pool as we can. This is an exciting new post-doc that offers significant disciplinary and methodological freedom for prospective candidates to spend two years at Brandeis. In the past, many of the Brandeis post-docs have stayed on in a variety of different roles. If you can help RT, here is a tweet that I made on this: https://twitter.com/PKashwan/status/1633103053615247364
