PSC expects to have openings for postdoctoral fellows sponsored by NIA and NICHD. Positions to start on or about September 1, 2012. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in demography, public health, or one of the social sciences (e.g. sociology, economics, anthropology, psychology or history) at the starting date.
Applicants for the NIA positions should be intending to focus their efforts during the postdoctoral fellowship on aging related research, broadly defined, while applicants for the NICHD positions should be intending to focus on population research. Selection will be based on scholarly potential and compatibility with the interests of a faculty mentor. Fellows devote most of their time to independent research, but may also take selected courses and/or teach on a light-load basis if opportunities are available. Positions offer exceptional opportunity for collaboration with staff of the Population Studies Center and Survey Research Center on major projects in the U.S. and overseas.
Term of appointment two years. Stipend commensurate with experience, based on levels mandated by NIH. Candidates must be citizens or Permanent Residents of the United States at the time of application.
Screening of applications will begin on January 13, 2012 and will continue until positions are filled. Send letter of application, curriculum vitae, 1-2 page statement of research interests detailing your planned research while at PSC and examples of written work via email to Ms. Heather MacFarland (hmacfarl@umich.edu) . Statement of research interests is essential and should reflect plans for research during the postdoctoral period, rather than simply a summary of previous research. Also, please arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent directly from the author to Ms. MacFarland via email. All documents should be in PDF format and contain the applicant's last name in the file name.
