Justin Melnick

Hi. I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Wilf Family Department of Politics at New York University. In Fall 2027, I will join the Department of Government at the University of Texas at Austin as an Assistant Professor, after an appointment as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance at Princeton University.

My research uses formal theory and quantitative methods to explore topics in international relations and political economy with applications to the politics of climate change. My work has been published or is forthcoming in International Organization, the Journal of Politics, the Journal of Conflict Resolution, the Journal of Theoretical Politics, and the Journal of Political Institutions and Political Economy. My research has been supported by grants from EGAP.

I hold a B.A. in International Relations and Economics from the University of Pennsylvania.
