Dear All,
 
UCLA's social science division has started a two year post-doctoral program. I have no idea how likely they are to be interested in economists (the salary is more suited to anthropologists). One catch is the expected collaboration with a senior faculty member. In case you have a student who is interested, please see http://ssip-postdoc.sscnet.ucla.edu/
 
Some highlights:

To apply, candidates must submit (a) a two to three page research proposal, (b) the names of two UCLA faculty sponsors/mentors at least one of whom is in the division of social sciences, (c) a CV, (d) a writing sample such as an article or thesis chapter and (e) three letters of recommendation by February 19, 2010.

In addition to pursuing their own research, Fellows will be required to teach two courses per year: one from among the existing courses in one of the departments in the division of social sciences and one of their own design. During the fellowship period, Fellows are expected to be in residence during the academic year of the fellowship and will be expected to participate actively in the running of a new Workshop on Social Science in Practice and collectively plan a conference in collaboration with a senior member of the faculty.

The SSIP Fellowship provides a stipend of up to $55,000, standard fringe benefits, a modest research budget, office space, and library privileges.
