Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award
NICHD Postdoctoral Traineeship
The Population Research Center (PRC) at The University of Texas at Austin will have two openings for NICHD-funded postdoctoral positions starting September 1, 2012. These positions are for one year, but are potentially renewable for a second year. The PRC is an interdisciplinary research and training unit of the University of Texas at Austin (UT) that provides infrastructure support services and project development support for a very productive, interdisciplinary group of faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduate students at UT. Most of the research is concentrated in four overlapping and reinforcing thematic areas: Health disparities, Educational Inequality & Opportunity, Partnership, Parenting, & Human Development, and Work and Stratification.
As part of a research unit with a strong culture of collaboration, postdocs are expected to spend about half of their time working independently and about half of their time working together with research associates. We strongly encourage potential applicants to contact research associates to discuss collective interests prior to submitting an application. In addition, postdocs are expected to regularly attend the weekly PRC brownbag, present at least once at the brownbag during their period of support, and submit research for presentation at the Population Association (PAA) meetings. Postdoctoral fellows must have a Ph.D. in sociology, demography, public health, family studies or a related social science discipline and be citizens, or Permanent Residents, of the United States at the time of appointment. Screening of applications will begin on January 28, 2012 and will continue until the positions are filled.
Send letter of interest with information about research interests and plans, anticipated postdoctoral faculty mentor, and future employment goals; CV; and examples of written work. In addition, please submit three letters of recommendation. All documents must be submitted electronically to: training@prc.utexas.edu
For more information about the PRC research activities and faculty see our website: www.utexas.edu/cola/centers/prc/ .
