Arthur Spirling

Assistant Professor
Methods and Formal Theory

Until very recently, I was a graduate student at the University of Rochester, Department of Political Science. I specialize in political methodology, with an interest in applied Bayesian statistics, ideal point estimation and the application of generalized linear models in political science. My substantive field is comparative politics, and I focus primarily on the United Kingdom.

In March 2008, I defended my doctoral dissertation. My graduation was in May 2008.

In July 2008, I joined Harvard University as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Government. I am affiliated with the Institute of Quantitative Social Science.

A .tex file template that I used to fulfill the "Preparation of Doctoral Thesis Guidelines" for the University of Rochester can be found here.

In Spring of 2009, I am teaching Gov 50.
