About The Position
The Department of Sociology at the University of Virginia is seeking to hire a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate to help conduct research associated with the Farm Labor Stabilization and Protection Pilot Program (FLSP). The FLSP is a multi-year program sponsored by the United States Department of Agriculture that provides cash grants to agricultural employers in exchange for their commitment to (a) participate in a Know Your Rights and Resources (KYRR) training program, and (b) adopt a package of high-road agricultural practices, which include responsible labor recruitment, fair pay, reliable benefits, safe working conditions, and the possibility of organizing employees through either a worker-driven social responsibility program or a union, for both foreign and domestic farmworkers. Postdoctoral employment is a yearly contract for an individual who has been awarded a Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate within the previous five years and who will be involved in full-time research or scholarship at the University. Employment as a postdoctoral research associate is viewed as training and is preparatory for a full-time academic or research career, is supervised by a senior scholar, and allows the appointee to publish the results of their research or scholarship during the training period.
