Junghyun Lim

I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. My research is on international/comparative political economy, with a special focus on the politics of migration, labor market, and globalization. In my work, I use a diverse set of methods including causal inference with observational data, and computational tools such as text analysis and machine learning. My work has been published or is forthcoming in Comparative Political Studies, Electoral Studies, and Nature Communication among others.

Previously I was a postdoctoral fellow at Perry World House’s Borders and Boundaries Project at University of Pennsylvania (2022-2023), and Princeton University’s Niehaus Center for Globalization & Governance (2021-2022). I completed my Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of Pittsburgh in 2021.
