He received doctoral and master’s degrees in political science from the University of Notre Dame and joins us from the Center for Research and Teaching in Economics (CIDE) in Mexico City, where he served as an assistant professor of political science. Chad previously spent four years as a graduate research assistant at the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago.

Among our existing staff:
