NYU’s Center for Social Media and Politics (CSMaP) hosts a global community of scholars to study the impact of this transformation. Our rigorous, policy-relevant research harnesses social media data to study politics in new ways and explores how social media affects public opinion and political behavior. Through innovative research, teaching, and outreach, CSMaP aims to advance scientific knowledge and inform public policy and discourse in the digital age.

We are looking for a Research Operations Director (Researcher) to help direct the Center’s research portfolio, which currently includes 50+ projects across diverse substantive and methodological areas. This position is responsible for working with our research community of faculty, postdocs, engineers, students, and staff to manage the center’s research operations.
