Congratulations to PhD Candidate Lucía López (@llopez.bsky.social) on being awarded the 2025–26 Early Career Fellowship from the APSA Experimental Research Section (@experimentsapsa.bsky.social)! 🎉 Lucía is on the academic job market this year -- learn more about her research at lucia-lopez.com.

In his job market paper, Christian examines how permanent oil revenue shortfalls reshape distributional conflicts in oil-dependent states and drive targeted institutional reforms to strengthen public goods provision, offering insight into how these states will respond to the clean energy transition.

Why does climate finance routinely stall between promise and delivery? Fiona Bare's job market paper shows how dual features of climate finance - mixed public-private benefits and pervasive uncertainty - create strategic frictions between donors and recipients that delay dealmaking.

🚨I'm on the job market! 🚨

My job market paper employs a formal model to examine the role of racial competency in shaping the behavior of Multiracial politicians. My broader dissertation examines how Multiracial Americans are a threat to racial solidarity. For more, visit www.isaiahcjohnson.com.

…and I’ve successfully defended my dissertation at @princetonpolitics.bsky.social! Thanks to @nolanmc.bsky.social @jkastellec.bsky.social Gleason Judd and Frances Lee for all the tough questions and invaluable advice!

I need your level of mental health protection 🙌🏽

It's been bugging me that we don't have a general REP listserv since the last one blew up, so I made a new google group. Just click the below link and click the "Join Group" button. Please share with other REP folks freely.

I want to say that I CAN believe what is happening to my undocumented people, Mexican or not.

The political impulse to forcibly remove folks for wanting to work and live in the US has always been with us. Now the rest of you get to see it in real time. We haven’t been exaggerating.

Congrats Reilly! From 571 to faculty at Columbia - very deserved!

Thank you!

I am honored to have received the 2025 George Kateb Preceptor Award! More importantly, thank you to my amazing students who motivated me to be a better TA. Without them, this wouldn’t have been possible.

FYI: The Spencer Foundation, Kapor Foundation, The William T. Grant Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation have collaborated to offer $25K rapid response grants.

"This rapid response bridge funding opportunity is for scholars and teams whose grants have recently been cancelled by NSF."

“What I’m concerned about is the chilling effect that this is going to have on this generation of potential future scientists who aren’t going to come back.”

Human capital is finite. You lose graduate student and faculty talent and that capital moves with them. It creates a dearth across numerous fields that impacts knowledge production and cascades beyond our generation - utterly ridiculous

Stark evidence that DOGE’s layoffs are based on ideological goals, not efficiency. For a sense of the magnitude, the distance between liberal and conservative agencies is ~3 pts, so liberal agencies are >60 pct pts more likely to have layoffs. Huge! Meanwhile, size and budget effects are small.

Texas is lucky to have you! Congrats 🤘

Yeah, that’s fair. The mass layoffs are a different beast than the institutional dynamics themselves I agree. You’d have to assume the entire agency is against you, which is a lot distrust.

Or work that is considered “woke” in general, which is apparently all of science.
