Gonzalo Di Landro |Ph.D.   

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Nuffield College, University of Oxford.

My research examines the causes and consequences of political representation, with a focus on gender. Specifically, I investigate the institutional and electoral determinants of parties’ and political elites’ approaches to gender representation and how those approaches, in turn, shape mass political attitudes and behavior.  I am also interested in political behavior more broadly, and in applying state-of-the-art experimental and survey-based approaches to its measurement. My regional expertise lies in Western democracies (Europe and the Americas).

My dissertation was supported by the American Political Science Association's Centennial Center for Political Science and Public Affairs and Rice University's Social Science Research Institute. My work has been published at the British Journal of Political Science and Legislative Studies Quarterly and was awarded the 2026 GESIS Klingemann Prize for Best CSES Scholarship.

As part of my broader professional practice, I work actively to bridge research and policy. I serve as a research consultant for the Inter-American Development Bank and share my research with broader audiences through a variety of media outlets. I am also engaged in the development of the infrastructure for the study of politics, and act as country co-coordinator for Uruguay for the Political Party Database Project.

I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from Rice University, a Bachelor's degree in Political Science, and a Graduate Diploma in Economics from Universidad de la República. In Spring 2024, I was a Junior Visiting Scholar at Nuffield, and a Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Political Research (CEVIPOF) at Sciences Po.
