I don't even know if I know anyone working in this area, I'm just retweeting because in my years in academia I've never even *seen* a full time continuing research role advertised

Our (w. Martin Bækgaard) lit review on administrative burdens is published in the latest issue of JPART. We read and coded all papers on burdens to take up the (difficult!) task of connecting different streams of research in a theoretical model 👇
