Assistant Professor of Political Science
Hunter Rendleman is an assistant professor of political science at UC Berkeley. She studies people working in political and politicized organizations. Her mixed-methods research focuses on how professional, racial, gender, and partisan identities shape elite behavior, workplace dynamics, and institutional outcomes.
Her current projects focus on legislators, congressional staff, policy professionals, lawyers, and frontline bureaucrats to understand how political institutions and broader labor market dynamics shape who enters public service, how they work, and whose interests government serves. Her work has been published or is forthcoming in the American Political Science Review, Perspectives on Politics, and Political Behavior, and has been featured in the New York Times, The Atlantic, and FiveThirtyEight/ABC News.
