Job opening at the Crime Prevention Research Center

Apr 19, 2018 | Featured

Job Opening

The CPRC has the possibility of hiring another Ph.D. level economist.  With John Whitley’s departure to be the assistant secretary of the Army for financial management and comptroller, we have needed to hire someone new, and a generous donor is allowing us to hire a new person, who will pay particular attention to Canada’s gun control laws.

Salaries will be competitive with other Ph.D. jobs.

Those interested in the position should email John Lott at johnrlott@crimeresearch.org and include a CV, a writing sample, and several references.
