The IIR is a research center at George Mason University.

It fosters a society where attitudes, policies, and rhetoric about immigrants and immigration are based on data, reason, and global contexts.

This position takes leadership and supports IIR’s efforts to build an arts, culture, and storytelling emphasis within the institute. The Postdoctoral Research Fellow’s areas of specialization includes some combination of immigration, forced displacement, arts, culture, storytelling, quality of life, and the overall issues related to immigration experience and policy. The Fellow works collaboratively to develop innovative and impactful research and programming to further IIR’s objective to provide a comprehensive picture of the realities faced by immigrants and a broader view of immigrants’ vital economic and societal contributions to specific regions within and to the United States as a whole.
