Position description
The School of Information at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for up to three new full-time Bellwether Postdoctoral Scholars to start as soon as July 2026. The exact start date is negotiable. These positions are available for two years, and are non-renewable. J-1 visa sponsorship is available for this position.
These postdoctoral positions are for academics in the early stages of their career who demonstrate exceptional potential as a scholar and researcher. Applicants should either have completed a doctoral degree, or be able to convincingly demonstrate that they will complete the degree before they intend to start this postdoctoral position (e.g. by documenting a scheduled viva/final defense).
We are seeking applicants with active research plans in any of the following areas:
BPS 1) We seek applicants pursuing a research agenda at the intersection of computer science and applied economics, with interdisciplinary training and interests in both topics. The successful applicant will work on projects that address pressing policy issues, using a mix of quantitative and computational methods (e.g., econometrics, data science, AI/ML). Examples of active projects include, but are not limited to, developing theory and methods for robust and equitable decision making in social settings; the use of machine learning and digital data to guide resource allocation and related policies in low-income countries; and creating and validating new techniques for monitoring living standards and well-being in high-stakes policy environments. This position will be supervised by Joshua Blumenstock.
BPS 2) We seek applicants with interdisciplinary training and interests pursuing a research agenda at the intersection of information science, computational social science, and public-interest research. The successful applicant will work on projects that examine how sociotechnical information systems shape high-stakes decision-making across digital and institutional contexts to address pressing issues in information access, trustworthiness, and credibility, using a mix of computational, quantitative, and qualitative methods (e.g., natural language processing, digital trace data, surveys, and interviews). Examples of active projects include, but are not limited to, studying online communities as informal information infrastructures; analyzing how search engines and digital platforms structure the visibility and credibility of information; developing methods to monitor and contextualize misinformation and uncertainty in sensitive or politicized domains; and advancing conceptual frameworks for understanding information ecosystems as structural determinants of equity, autonomy, and well-being, including but not limited to health-related contexts. This position will be supervised by Coye Cheshire.
BPS 3) We seek applicants with active research plans in climate and sustainability informatics, leveraging information and/or information tools to empower individuals, communities, and organizations in tackling the challenges of climate change and biodiversity conservation. We welcome applicants with strong backgrounds in one or more of the following areas: remote sensing, ML, NLP, HCI, participatory design, design research, biosensory computing. The successful applicant will become a core member of the IceBerk Lab ( ), and be supervised by John Chuang, with possible co-supervision by another IceBerk faculty member where appropriate.
BPS 4) The Cultural Analytics group seeks postdoc applicants to conduct data-driven research across archival heritage and born-digital media. Current projects include, but are not limited to: (i) the study of narrative, belief and resonance, where the goal is to understand how narrative is mutually constitutive of beliefs, and how narrative resonates in and across communities of belief; (ii) extracting narrative elements from literary works, with a strong focus on complex corpora such as the Icelandic sagas to understand composition and social modeling in late medieval fiction; (iii) further developing the approach of archetyptonics along with the SOCKS project at University of Vermont's Complex Systems Center; and (iv) refining a search engine for popular dance, where the search term is the dancer's sequence of poses, here focusing on Kpop dance. Ideal candidates bridge Computational Humanities/Social Science Computing (ML, Networks, and/or Computer Vision) with a qualitative theoretical background. You will be supervised by Tim Tangherlini (with potential I-School co-supervision), and be associated with the Berkeley Institute for Data Science (BIDS) and the AI Futures Lab. We welcome applicants with active research plans ready to contribute to a vibrant, interdisciplinary environment.
BPS 5) The goal of this postdoctoral position is to contribute to the development of an empirically-backed theoretical understanding of how people understand and make sense of the combination of graphic and textual information. We seek a scholar with expertise in some combination of information visualization, the psychology of reading and/or diagram interpretation, and cognitive science or neuroscience more generally to investigate human conception at the intersection of language and information visualization. Expertise in conducting and analyzing eye gaze is a requirement of the position. Expertise or interest in multimodal information, both cognitively and in large vision and language models is a plus. The mentor for this position is Professor Marti Hearst.
BPS 6) Seeking postdoc applicants with a passion for and commitment to equity-driven co-design with local marginalized Indigenous communities. A successful applicant will work on projects that weave together Indigenous knowledge, experiences, and values that address public-facing outcomes, such as informal science education programs and exhibits at local museums and cultural centers. The applicant will help develop theory and methods for world-building equity that integrate marginalized communities' cultural and social struggles. We are seeking applicants with the following attributes: strong background in co-design with marginalized communities, design research, qualitative methods, and experience building mixed reality systems. Knowledge of Indigenous research methods is a plus. This position will be supervised by Kimiko Ryokai.
The Bellwether Postdoctoral Scholar program is designed to allow exceptionally promising young researchers the time to develop their own research while collaborating with leading established faculty. It is designed to accelerate careers, and to maximize the ability of Bellwether Postdoctoral Scholars to build independent research trajectories. To accomplish this, a portion (30-40%) of each post-doc's time will be reserved for their own independent research and publication efforts, including publishing results from their dissertation.
Additionally, all Bellwether Postdoctoral Scholars will work with a mentor or mentors on research projects in the areas listed above (60-70%), all of which are either already active or will be at the time of the start of the post-doc. All have significant publication opportunities planned.
These postdoctoral positions are research-focused and do not include teaching. However, all post-docs will be given opportunities for guest lecturing and will be expected to give public talks about their research. Post-docs will also contribute to planning and hosting public talks for others, and will be expected to be active participants in I School academic events such as research talks.
Each postdoctoral scholar will have access to up to $5,000 annually for research expenses and travel to professional conferences and research opportunities. A laptop computer will also be provided for the duration of the post-doc.
For all of the above positions, we only seek candidates with excellent research and leadership abilities and a commitment to contributing to the UC Berkeley I School and the field of information more broadly while accelerating their career.
The Berkeley School of Information (I School) is a global bellwether in a world awash in information and data, boldly leading the way with education and fundamental research that translates into new knowledge, practices, policies, and solutions. I School scholars and practitioners thrive in the intersections where people, organizations, and societies interact with information, technology, and data. Faculty comprise a mix of disciplines, including information, computer science, economics, political science, law, sociology, design, media studies, and more.
The I School offers three professional master's degrees and an academic doctoral degree. The MIMS program trains students for careers as information professionals and emphasizes small classes and project-based learning. The MIDS program trains data scientists to manage and analyze the coming onslaught of big data, in a unique high-touch online degree. The MICS program prepares cybersecurity leaders with the technical skills and contextual knowledge necessary to develop solutions for complex cybersecurity challenges. The Ph.D. program equips scholars to develop solutions and shape policies that influence how people seek, use, and share information. Our cohorts and classes are small enough to support intense student engagement; and we encourage collaboration among the students, faculty, and staff in the I School community. Our alumni have careers in diverse fields, such as data science, user experience design and research, product management, engineering, information policy, cybersecurity, and more.
UC Berkeley has an excellent benefits package as well as a number of policies and programs to support employees as they balance work and family, if applicable.

Asset Manager
Indianapolis, IN
About Focused Capital:
Focused Capital is a private real estate investment firm focused on acquiring, improving, and operating multifamily communities throughout the Midwest. The firm partners with investors to acquire well-located assets where operational improvements, renovations, and strategic management can drive long-term value.
Focused Capital currently owns and operates a growing portfolio of multifamily communities and is actively expanding its platform. We are an entrepreneurial, performance-driven company where team members are expected to take ownership, think like operators, and execute at a high level.
Position Overview:
Focused Capital is seeking a highly motivated Asset Manager to own the operational and financial performance of the firm’s multifamily portfolio. This is a leadership role—not a support role. The Asset Manager will act as the strategic leader and owner’s representative for each property, directly accountable for driving performance, executing business plans, and maximizing NOI and long-term asset value.
The Asset Manager will work closely with property management companies, construction teams, and leadership to ensure each property is performing in line with investment objectives. This role requires a combination of strong financial analysis, decisive operational leadership, strategic thinking, and the willingness to hold people accountable and have difficult conversations when performance falls short.
Core Responsibilities
Asset Performance Ownership:
Take full ownership of the financial and operational performance of assigned assets. The Asset Manager is responsible for ensuring each asset is progressing toward its investment objectives—and for driving corrective action when it is not.
• Drive NOI growth across the portfolio through hands-on leadership and strategic execution.
• Execute approved business plans with discipline and urgency.
• Monitor asset performance relative to budget and flag variances early with recommended solutions.
• Identify and act on opportunities to improve revenue and reduce expenses.
Business Plan Execution:
Develop and implement detailed business plans for each property. Monitor progress and adjust strategies as needed to maximize property performance.
• Revenue growth strategies.
• Renovation and capex execution.
• Operational improvements.
• Expense management initiatives.
Property Management Leadership:
Serve as the primary strategic partner to third-party property management companies. The Asset Manager must ensure property managers are executing the business plan effectively—and act decisively when they are not.
• Lead regular operating meetings with property management teams. Set agendas, track action items, and ensure follow-through on commitments.
• Hold property managers accountable to budget, KPIs, and performance standards. Address underperformance directly and swiftly—including making replacement recommendations when standards are consistently not met.
• Evaluate leasing performance, marketing effectiveness, and staffing decisions.
• Critically evaluate operational strategies and recommendations. Challenge assumptions and push for better outcomes.
KPI Tracking & Performance Monitoring:
Establish and monitor key performance indicators for each property. Analyze trends and proactively address performance issues before they become problems.
• Occupancy and leasing velocity.
• Renewal rates and delinquency.
• Expense ratios and unit turn times.
• Tour-to-lease conversions.
Financial Analysis & Reporting:
Monitor financial performance of each asset and deliver consistent, accurate reporting on a defined cadence that gives leadership clear, proactive visibility into portfolio performance.
• Review monthly financial statements and conduct variance analysis relative to budget.
• Build and maintain forecasting models and financial projections.
• Lead capital planning and risk analysis.
• Own annual budgets and set priorities for each year.
• Review and interpret legal documents—loan agreements, guarantees, promissory notes—and coordinate with appropriate parties to ensure compliance.
• Manage draw requests, loan servicing, DSCR tests, and service all lender requests.
Capital Improvements & Renovations:
Lead capital improvement and renovation programs end-to-end. Ensure projects are completed on time and within budget—and hold contractors accountable when they fall behind.
• Develop budgets and scopes with ownership approval.
• Manage project scheduling and contractor coordination.
• Track progress against schedule and budget with regular reporting.
• Manage lender draws.
Acquisitions & Dispositions:
Play an active role in the acquisition and disposition process.
• Support underwriting, due diligence, and identification of operational risks and opportunities.
• Lead operational transition of newly acquired assets—implement the initial business plan, coordinate property management onboarding, evaluate staffing and processes, and establish performance tracking systems. Ensure a clean, fast transition with no dropped balls.
• Execute hold/sell analysis based on market conditions and drive the disposition process through close.
Property Inspections:
Conduct regular site visits to evaluate physical asset condition, operational performance, and property management effectiveness. Document findings and recommendations with clarity and urgency.
Documentation & Systems:
We build systems that scale. The Asset Manager is expected to build and maintain operational infrastructure that ensures continuity, scalability, and institutional knowledge that lives in the platform—not in any one person.
• Establish and maintain SOPs, best practices, forms, and operational documents for all recurring asset management workflows.
• Cross-train with team members and build operational redundancy to eliminate single points of failure.
• Ensure all reporting, compliance tracking, and operational processes are documented and repeatable within the firm’s technology platforms.
• Leverage AI tools and technology to streamline reporting, analysis, and operational workflows—working smarter, not just harder.
Qualifications
Leadership & Communication:
• Proven track record of holding third-party property managers, contractors, and vendors accountable to performance targets and timelines.
• Comfortable with direct, candid communication—including difficult conversations about underperformance, contract termination, or vendor replacement.
• Decisive under pressure. Able to make sound decisions with imperfect information and take ownership of outcomes.
• Strong executive presence with the ability to lead meetings, drive agendas, and command follow-through from external partners.
• Self-directed and proactive. You set the pace, drive results, and take initiative without waiting to be asked.
Analytical & Financial:
• Strong financial modeling and analytical skills—experience building and reviewing proformas, P&Ls, balance sheets, and income statements.
• Ability to use data to drive decisions, inform accountability conversations, and translate analysis into action.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook) and G-Suite (Gmail, Sheets, Slides, Drive).
• Experience with property management software and CRM/reporting platforms preferred.
• Comfortable adopting and utilizing AI and emerging technology to increase efficiency and productivity.
Experience & Education
• Bachelor’s degree in real estate, finance, business, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in multifamily asset management, property management, or acquisitions.
• Direct experience overseeing renovation or capital improvement programs.
• Experience working with and managing third-party property management companies.
• Ability to travel to properties as needed.
Desired Characteristics
We are seeking someone who:
• Thinks like an owner—not an employee.
• Is proactive and solutions-oriented. Brings answers, not just problems.
• Has strong operational instincts and can read a property’s performance story from the numbers.
• Is comfortable making decisions and standing behind them.
• Thrives in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment with real accountability.
• Takes ownership of results—wins and losses.
• Embraces technology and AI as tools to move faster and make better decisions.
Compensation
· Base Salary—Competitive base commensurate with experience.
· Performance-Based Bonus—Semi-annual bonus tied to portfolio performance metrics.
· Long-Term Profit Participation— Opportunity to participate in the long-term financial success of the portfolio, aligning your incentives directly with the firm's investment outcomes.
