Two Post-doctoral Fellowships

Sociology-Demography Unit
Department of Political and Social Sciences
Universitat Pompeu Fabra

The DEMOSOC unit within the Universitat Pompeu Fabra seeks to fill two post-doctoral positions linked to an ERC financed five-year research project on cross-national comparisons of changing family dynamics and polarization. The principal investigator is Professor Gosta Esping-Andersen and includes scientific collaboration with major centres of demographic research in Europe and the United States.

We are looking for young demographers, economists or sociologists with strong quantitative skills. The candidate must be in possession of the PhD, at least prior to September, 2011. The positions will have a duration of 2-3 years, with an annual stipend of 31.000-32.000 Euros.

The project's theoretical framework is an adaptation of multiple equilibrium models from economics. Empirically, the research programme includes three major sub-projects related to, respectively, marital behaviour and couple stability, fertility, and to parenting practices. Successful candidates should have substantial experience analyzing longitudinal micro-data. We are especially looking for expertise in event history analysis and also simulation techniques.

Interested candidates can contact the principal investigator for more details by email: gosta.esping at upf.edu<mailto:gosta.esping at upf.edu> <mailto:gosta.esping at upf.edu> . Candidates for the two positions should send a CV and letters of recommendation before April 1, 2011 to:
