Join Professor Benkler's Cooperation Research Group
The Cooperation Research Group, led by Professor Yochai Benkler, analyzes the design of cooperative human systems through a combination of interdisciplinary observational, experimental, and theoretical studies. As part of this project, the group is embarking on a new effort to provide a map of commons-based and cooperative peer production today.
Research Assistants will have the opportunity to contribute substantively to this project, conducting and writing case studies as well as providing input on overall research design and execution.
Familiarity with research on cooperation, organizations, and case study methodology highly valued. Familiarity with research on motivation, sociology, economics, and/or social psychology is also a plus.
The position will begin in mid-September. The required commitment is approximately 15 hours per week (including weekly case study research group meetings) through December 15.
