*Title* * *Mid- and Senior-Level Social Demographers





*Description* [image: https://web4.rand.org/cs/ps/cache/PT_PIXEL_1.gif]RAND’s
Labor and Population Division is seeking mid-level and senior-level
researchers to conduct high-quality, cutting-edge social demographic
research as part of the RAND Population Research Center (PRC). The PRC is
dedicated to the scientific advancement of population studies in a period
when demographic changes are creating especially complex theoretical and
public policy issues. Its purpose is to provide a supportive setting in
which a community of scholars can pursue population studies with the
resources and facilities to produce the highest quality work. RAND is
looking for dedicated scholars who can contribute to the mission of the PRC
by actively taking on leadership roles within the center, mentoring and
supporting junior researchers, and developing and managing interdisciplinary
research teams. Currently, the PRC's research agenda is characterized by a
focus on children and families, labor market and human capital investments,
and socioeconomic disparities in health. RAND’s Labor and Population
Division is looking to both grow in these areas and to expand into other
domains of demographic research. Persons seeking a collaborative and
entrepreneurial research environment are encouraged to apply.





*Qualifications *All research positions at RAND require excellent analytical
skills; the ability to communicate clearly and effectively, both orally and
in writing; and a strong commitment to RAND's core values of quality and
objectivity. Senior researchers at RAND are expected to show a demonstrated
ability to lead interdisciplinary teams, to mentor junior staff, and to
communicate research findings to both scientific and policymaking audiences.
Candidates should have excellent quantitative research skills, both in
statistics and demographic methods. Substantive areas within social
demography are open, but the ideal candidate would both overlap with the
center's current areas of focus and expand the breadth of the center's
expertise. Other requirements include:

* *

·       Record of externally funded social demographic research, preferably
including support from NIH**

* *

·       Strong publication record in peer-reviewed journals**

* *

·       Active participation and visibility within the national
sociology/demography community**

* *

* *

*Educational Requirements*  Ph.D. in Sociology, Demography, Family Studies,
Public Policy, or related fields.



* *

*Location*  Santa Monica, CA





*For more information* contact Arie Kapteyn, the Director of RAND Labor and
Population: kapteyn at rand.org
