Do sexual minorities participate more in politics? Using Canadian data, our analyses indicate that yes, sexual minorities participate more, especially in non-institutionalized forms of participation! with @jfdaoust.bsky.socialdoi.org/10.1177/2053...

Friends, please encourage your students to consider a pre-doctoral fellowship with me working on meta-analyses of political science experiments. I promise a good trade of money and skills in exchange for effort and time! tobin.yale.edu/opportunitie...

Position description: The goal of this project is to produce generalizable answers to social scientific questions through ``meta-reanalysis,'' a design in which original study datasets are re-analyzed using standardized tools and the resulting re-analyses are formally synthesized through meta-analysis. Building on the Coppock's previous meta-analytic work on persuasion, candidate choice, and discrimination, this project seeks to establish the external validity of research findings in select literatures, including for a start, the experimental record on the effects of group cues and perspective taking.

The key contribution of this project is the approach to the generalizability problem, the concern that the results of any particular study might not travel to other contexts and times. The lab's design- based approach is grounded in the principles of commensurability, transparency, and collaboration.
REQUISITE SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS:

The main tasks will fall into three categories:

1.     Data cleaning and preparation. All-data related tasks will be done in R, in the "tidyverse" style, so familiarity with R and tidyverse coding is preferred.

2.     Design-aware literature review. We only include primary studies that adhere to particular designs, so exposure to and familiarity with experimental designs in political science is preferred.

3.     Data collection via communication with primary study authors. We need to ask primary study authors to share their data with us, which requires a polite and prompt emailing style.
