From ASA job bank.
The RAND Corporation invites applications for junior, mid-career, and senior sociologists interested in labor and population research. RAND is a non-profit policy research organization with over 600 full-time researchers that houses the RAND Graduate School, the world’s leading producer of PhDs in policy analysis. The Labor and Population Program includes a post-doctoral training program, NIH-funded centers, and several seminar series in labor and population issues. Current research topics are characterized by a focus on children and families, labor market and human capital investments, socioeconomic disparities in health, and the social and economic functioning of the elderly. RAND’s Labor and Population Division is looking to both grow in these areas and to expand into other domains of demographic research. Candidates will have opportunities to receive appointments and teach in the RAND Graduate School and collaborate with researchers in other programs, such as RAND Health, the nation’s largest health policy research organization, and established programs in criminal justice, education, manpower, and other areas. Information about RAND and its research activities is available from www.rand.org.
A PhD in sociology is preferred, but a PhD in demography or a related field will also be considered. For mid- and senior level positions, 5-10+ years related experience is required. Candidates at the senior level should possess a distinguished research record, a proven ability to attract significant research funding, a strong record of peer-reviewed publications, a willingness to provide mentoring for more junior researchers and the skills to lead interdisciplinary research teams. Candidates at the mid career level should possess a promising record of peer-reviewed publications, experience in obtaining external research funding, and an interest in leading and participating in interdisciplinary research teams. Candidates at the junior level should show strong research and publication potential. Application review of junior applicants will commence on October 15, 2012 until positions are filled. Applications for mid- and senior-level applicants will be reviewed continuously.
