Position Focus

The key aim of the project is to rethink and expand the range of institutional models we consider in our attempts to keep public institutions accountable to the public aims they are meant to serve. More concretely, the postdoctoral associate would assist Prof. Bagg in the following tasks over the course of the two-year position: (a) building and managing a team of collaborators and contributors from a wide range of scholarly disciplines and organizational contexts; (b) building and maintaining a large database of non-traditional or underutilized institutional models, drawing on multi-disciplinary sources across history, anthropology, organizations, design, law, business, etc…; (c) producing an interactive web-based platform to enable open-ended exploration of that database; (d) collaborating on a series of scholarly articles that utilize and publicize the research collected in this database; (e) producing a suite of targeted materials aimed at policymakers and organizational leaders in specific contexts; and (f) planning a series of scholarly convenings to assist with the above. In addition, the postdoctoral associate would also have substantial scope to pursue independent scholarly projects, with guidance from Prof. Bagg and other USC faculty. There is no teaching associated with the position.
