The grant is 3 years and funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation.
The position is a 2-year postdoc. The postdoc’s primary duties will involve working with a faculty member to study how best to communicate ethical production practices to consumers and to examine consumers’ valuations and perceptions of transparency.
