Jon Green

I am an assistant professor in the Departent of Political Science at Duke University. I completed my Ph.D. in Political Science, with focuses in American Politics and Political Methodology, from the Ohio State University in June 2020. In between, I was a postdoc and then research scientist in the Lazer Lab at Northeastern University's Network Science Institute and a fellow at the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School.

My primary research agenda concerns how political elites talk about politics, democratic citizens' attitudes and behaviors, and interactions between these phenomena. My peer-reviewed work concerning public opinion and political behavior in the United States has appeared or is accepted to appear in journals such as Nature, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Science Advances, the Journal of Politics, the British Journal of Political Science, Political Behavior, and Public Opinion Quarterly.

My CV can be found here.
