Seo-young Silvia Kim

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science and International Relations at Seoul National University. I received my Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology in 2020, and was formerly at American University as an assistant professor, 2020–2023, and at Sogang University, 2023–2024.

I work on American politics, political methodology, and computational social sciences, with an emphasis on political behavior, election administration, and money in politics. I also build methods to calculate and address measurement biases in administrative data and surveys.

I have publications at the American Political Science Review, The Journal of Politics, Political Analysis, Political Behavior, and others. You can find a copy of my CV here and my Google Scholar here.
