[Jobs] Postdoctoral position - UT Population Research Center]

[Leora Lawton]

The Population Research Center (PRC) at The University of Texas at Austin
will have one opening for NICHD-funded postdoctoral
position* starting September 1, 2013. This position is for one year, but is
potentially renewable for a second year.

The PRC is an interdisciplinary research and training unit of The University
of Texas at Austin (UT) that provides infrastructure support
services and project development support for a very productive,
interdisciplinary group of faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and
undergraduate
students at UT. Most of the research is concentrated in four overlapping and
reinforcing thematic areas: Health disparities, Educational
Inequality & Opportunity, Partnership, Parenting, & Human Development, and
Work and Stratification.

As part of a research unit with a strong culture of collaboration, postdocs
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 research associates to discuss collective interests prior to
submitting an application. In addition, postdocs are expected to
regularly attend the weekly PRC brownbag, present at least once at the
brownbag during their period of support, and submit research
for presentation at the Population Association (PAA) meetings.

Postdoctoral fellows must have a Ph.D. in sociology, demography, public
health, family studies or a related social science discipline
and be citizens, or Permanent Residents, of the United States at the time of
appointment. Screening of applications will begin on January 28, 2013
and will continue until the position is filled.

Send letter of interest with information about research interests and plans,
anticipated postdoctoral PRC faculty mentor, and future
employment goals; CV; and examples of written work. In addition, please
submit three letters of recommendation. All documents must
be submitted electronically to: training at prc.utexas.edu
