Post-doctoral Researcher in Sociology or Demography

Meridian Lab, University of Colorado, Boulder

Posted September 1, 2011

The Meridian Lab in the Department of Geography at the University of Colorado at Boulder invites
applications for a post-doctoral researcher position in demography and sociology.  The researcher will
work with a team on an NSF-funded project to integrate US Census tract-level summary data with PUMS
microdata, using maximum likelihood estimation and dasymetric modeling.  The project forms a collaboration
with geographer-demographers at the University of Tennessee Center for Business and Economic Research. 
This is a two year position (24 months) of full-time research.

Successful candidates will have skills in formal demography or quantitative methods and excellent
communication skills in reading, writing and spoken English.  A Ph.D. in Sociology or Demography is
required by the time of hire. The successful candidate will be involved with data analysis and
interpretation, preparation of papers for publication in refereed outlets in both Geography and Sociology,
and in preparation of materials for online and conference workshops.  The project has a web programmer on
staff. The postdoctoral researcher will be guided to integrate their own research interests into the
project, and to develop project management skills that will help them as they pursue a professional career
track.

The Meridian Lab at the University of Colorado at Boulder is committed to diversity and equality in
education and employment.  Members of underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.
  Meridian Lab has an excellent track record of mentoring post-doctoral and graduate researchers, strong
computing facilities, and expertise with GIScience and statistical mapping.  Our team has close ties with
researchers in the Sociology Department and with the Institute of Behavioral Sciences on campus.
Applicants will be supported in establishing  professional networks with these two campus units, as well
as to participate in Sociology, Demography and Geography national conferences.

We will accept applications beginning immediately until the position is filled.  Send by email a packet
(preferably in pdf format) containing a letter of interest, CV, and the names of three people whom we can
contact for letters of recommendation.  Applications should be emailed to drbabs14 at gmail.com.
