Job alert! The Nunn School at Georgia Tech is hiring an assistant prof in intelligence studies and intl security!

In addition to folks already on the academic track, we also welcome applicants who have a PhD and are leaving the Intelligece Community for *some reason* looking for a new career.

Going to APSA 2025 in Vancouver? We've put together a neat panel on new approaches to military effectiveness (broadly defined) that has room for one more paper (and, if you're a glutton for punishment, a discussant). Would love to have another junior scholar. Email me if interested

New working paper, just five short years in the making! The idea for it emerged from reading about the French Revolution during COVID lockdowns, which warped my sense of time, and got me interested into measures thereof. Abstract and title below, and full ms here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

New paper: We examine how prior economic assistance moderates (or doesn't) the effects of US airstrikes in Iraq using our new R package, geocausal, that helps with causal inference with fine-grained spatial-temporal data. Thanks to the NSF for supporting our work

Headed to APSA 2025? I’m putting together a panel on new approaches to military effectiveness. All methods + time periods welcome! (We have an experiment on discrimination and unit cohesion, for example). If you’re interested, send me an email.
