Postdoctoral Associate

The Cornell Population Program (CPP) invites applicants for the newly funded Frank
H.T. Rhodes Post-doctoral Fellowships.  The start date for the position will be
August 16, 2010 and will be funded for 2 years, subject to a satisfactory first year
evaluation.  Selection will be based on scholarly potential, ability to work in
multi-disciplinary settings, and the support of a faculty mentor and CPP affiliate
at Cornell who will work closely with the post-doctoral associate. Preference will
be given to fellows with research interests in areas broadly related to the CPP's
three main foci: families & children, health behaviors & disparities, or
poverty/inequality. Especially encouraged are applications from candidates whose
research has significance for those countries on which the fellowship's funder
focuses - the United States, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Vietnam,
South Africa, and Bermuda.

The Frank H. T. Rhodes Fellowships stand as a testament to the profound difference
Frank Rhodes has made at Cornell by furthering scholarship and research in areas
related to poverty alleviation, support for the elderly and disadvantaged children
and youth, public health, and human rights. The postdoctoral program is designed to
provide an intense apprenticeship through collaborations with faculty and to assist
new scholars in launching their own programs of research.  Postdoctoral Associates
devote most of their time to independent research, but are expected to be involved
in CPP institution building activities, as well.  See http://cpp.cornell.edu/ for
more information about the Cornell Population Program.

The postdoctoral associate will have access to the full range of university
resources and receive an annual salary of $50,000 plus benefits and a modest
research/travel account.  Applicants must have a Ph.D. in demography, economics,
sociology, or another related social science discipline by August 16, 2010. 
Screening of applications begins February 10, 2010, and will continue until the
position is filled.

Applications must include: (a) letter of application, (b) curriculum vita, (c) a 2-3
page statement proposing both an individual research project and how the candidate
will engage with a CPP faculty affiliate's on-going research, (d) examples of
written work, (e) a letter from a CPP faculty affiliate agreeing to mentor the
candidate, and (d) three letters of recommendation. These materials  must be
submitted online at http://www.ohr.cornell.edu/jobs/.  Once you reach this web site,
