I am a Full Professor of Political Science and Public Policy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Previously I served as Public Sector Lecturer at King’s College London Management Department (2006-2010) and as a Research Officer at the Center for the Analysis of Risk and Regulation at the London School of Economics (2008-2010). I completed my PhD (2007) at the Political Science and International Relations Department and the University of Oxford and Nuffield College.

My research focuses on the politics of bureaucracy and behavioral public administration. I tend to employ mixed methods, bridging quantitative and qualitative methods to make sense of real-world bureaucratic settings. My most recent work and interest are in democratic backsliding and bureaucracy, political attitudes and willingness to work in the public sector, citizen strategies in bureaucratic encounters, bureaucratic discrimination of minorities, and the effect of diversity and representation on bureaucracies’ deployment of their discretionary powers. I am also interested and have written about bureaucratic reputation and state-business regulatory encounters and their consequences for citizens. My work has been published in key journals in the field of public administration, including the Journal of Public Administration Research & Theory, Public Administration Review, Governance, Regulation & Governance, Public Administration and more.

As an active member of the Behavioral Public Administration group, I serve as co-chair of relevant sections in international public-administration conferences. Likewise, I also serve on the editorial boards of several public administrations journals (the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory; Public Administration Review; Governance; Perspectives on Public Management and Governance; Journal of Behavioral Public Administration; International Review of Administrative Sciences; Asia Pacific Journal of Public Administration). Previously, I have served as associate editor of Public Administration (2016-2019).
