From ASA Family Listserve:
The Population Research Institute at Penn State anticipates an opening for a postdoctoral fellow in Family Demography and Individual Development, starting August 15, 2012. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in demography, family studies, or a related social science discipline by the starting date. A strong background in quantitative analysis of social science data is desirable. The training program is oriented toward a postdoctoral research apprenticeship in two areas: family demography, and life course development processes and outcomes. We seek trainees with either 1) training in demography who wish to broaden their disciplinary base by acquiring substantive expertise in individual development throughout the life course, or 2) a disciplinary background in individual development who seek to acquire the perspective, tools and techniques of demography. The interface of family demography and individual development science is an area of particular strength among Population Research Institute faculty associates. Selection will be based on research scholarly potential and compatibility with the interests of faculty mentors. A postdoctoral fellow devotes most of his/her time to research collaborations with co-faculty mentors and independent research and research grant proposal writing, but also audit selected courses to broaden disciplinary expertise. Fellowships are for one year, renewable for a second. Candidates must be U.S. citizens (or Permanent Residents) at the time of application. Screening of applications will begin on January 16, 2012 and continue until the position is filled.
Email letter of application along with 1) a three-four page statement describing a) research interests and career plan, b) research study proposal, c) proposed post-doctoral faculty mentors at Penn State, 2) a curriculum vitae, 3) example of written work, and 4) three separately sent letters of recommendation to: Angela Jordan (akj3@psu.edu). Penn State is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer. For more information about the Population Research Institute research and training programs see: www.pop.psu.edu or contact Dr. Valarie King, Training Program Director.
