**Population Studies and Training Center, Brown University**

**NICHD-Funded Postdoctoral Position Available****

The PSTC expects to have an opening for a one-year (renewable for a
second year) NICHD-funded postdoctoral position starting as early as
July 1, 2010.The PSTC is an interdisciplinary research and training unit
of Brown University that provides an environment for intellectual
exchange, infrastructure support services, and project development
support for a very productive, interdisciplinary group of
population-related faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students.

Research at the PSTC is innovative and interdisciplinary
(http://www.pstc.brown.edu <http://www.pstc.brown.edu/>). It is
distinguished by its commitment to collaboration across disciplinary and
institutional boundaries as well as its strong portfolio of research in
developing country settings. The scope of PSTC research encompasses both
traditional topics of interest to demographers, such as fertility,
mortality, and migration, as well as a much broader range of issues,
including environmental change, social determinants of health, gender,
family structure, residential segregation, and the consequences of the
HIV/AIDS epidemic. Opportunities also exist to build on connections the
PSTC has with other interdisciplinary units at Brown, such as the Watson
Institute for International Studies, the Environmental Change
Initiative, the Global Health Initiative, the National Children’s Study,
and the like. Potential applicants are encouraged to consult the PSTC
website to learn of research activities, intra-institutional links, and
faculty associate interests.

As part of a research unit with a strong culture of collaboration,
postdoctoral fellows 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 PSTC faculty Research Associates to discuss collective interests
prior to submitting their application. In addition, postdoctoral fellows
are expected to regularly attend the weekly PSTC Colloquia, present to
the colloquia during the second year of their postdoctoral appointment,
present research at the Population Association (PAA) meetings, and
submit one or more articles for publication. Postdoctoral fellows must
have a Ph.D. in anthropology, economics, sociology, demography, or a
related social science discipline. Applicants must be citizens, or
Permanent Residents, of the United States at the time of application.

Screening of applications will begin on February 1, 2010, and will
continue until the position is filled. Send letter of application with
CV, information about research interests and plans, anticipated
postdoctoral faculty mentor(s), future employment goals, and examples of
written work. It is preferred that all application materials be sent as
a single pdf document; applications via regular mail will be accepted.
In addition, please have three letters of recommendation sent. Submit
all materials to: Thomas Alarie, Population Studies and Training Center,
Box 1836, Brown University, 68 Waterman Street, Providence RI 02912
