5.   University of Western Ontario - Tier II Canada Research Chair

The Faculty of Social Science at Western University invites applications for
a Tier II Canada Research Chair in the area of Migration and Ethnic
Relations. In accordance with the regulations set for Tier II Canada
Research Chairs, the candidate will hold a PhD (obtained within the last ten
years), and will be an outstanding emerging scholar who has demonstrated
innovation with the potential to achieve international recognition within
five to ten years. The candidate must propose an original research program
that will attract external funding and excellent graduate students. The
competition is open to both Canadian and international candidates.

Research on Migration and Ethnic Relations is broadly conceived as research
addressing immigration, integration, and cultural diversity policies and
practice; forces driving current and future migration processes; migration's
influence on societies of origin and destination; ethnic diversity,
interethnic group relations, and race relations; interethnic and interracial
conflict; and ethnic and racial identity. The focus for this position is not
discipline-specific or region-specific. The search is being conducted at the
Faculty-wide level, with the final home department to be determined by the
discipline of the successful candidate.

Western University's Centre for Research on Migration and Ethnic Relations
(MER)and its Collaborative Graduate Program in Migration and Ethnic
Relations are world leaders in research and graduate training related to
migration and ethnic relations. These interdisciplinary efforts provide
graduate students with unique training opportunities, while informing public
policy and practice that facilitate the well-being of immigrants and ethnic
minorities. The MER Centre resides in the Faculty of Social Science. The
Faculty is widely recognized for its excellence and innovation in
undergraduate and graduate teaching and the quality of its research
programs. It is one of the largest and most diverse Social Science Faculties
in Canada, made up of eight core Departments - Anthropology, Economics,
Geography, History, DAN Management and Organizational Studies, Political
Science, Psychology and Sociology, as well as the interdisciplinary
Department of Women's Studies (housed in Arts and Humanities). MER draws
members from all of these Departments.

experience warrant, with a starting date of July 1, 2015 or later. She or he
will be expected to establish a competitive research program and to
participate in teaching and supervision at the undergraduate and graduate
levels. Appointment to a faculty position will be conditional on the
selected candidate applying for and being awarded a Canada Research Chair.
The candidate will work in conjunction with the Faculty and the Office of
Research Services to develop a proposal to be submitted with the Chair
nomination to the CRC Secretariat in the fall of 2014. Please refer to the
CRC website for detailed information about the Program:
<http://www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/> http://www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/.

include: a covering letter and curriculum vitae; copies of up to three
publications; the names and contact details (including email addresses and

Postdoctoral Associate

The Division of Intramural Research at the National Institute on Minority
Health and Health Disparities has openings for two (2) postdoctoral

with statistical analysis software (e.g., SAS, Stata, R or Mplus) and with
geocoding software (e.g., ArcGIS) is required. Qualitative research
experience is also preferred. Applicants should also be interested in
social, behavioral, and/or population factors related to minority health and
health disparities. Applicants will work with investigators in the Division

of the investigators. Salary will be set commensurate with experience and
accomplishments. Applicants should send curriculum vitae, a brief
description of research interests, and three letters of references to: Dr.
Kelvin Choi at kelvin.choi at nih.gov.

9.   Emory University - Dual Degree program in Sociology and Public Health

Emory University announces a new dual degree program in sociology and public
health.  Beginning this year, students who are admitted to the PhD program
in the Department of Sociology will be able to complete an MPH in any of
five departments in Emory's Rollins School of Public Health: Behavioral
Sciences and Health Education, Environmental Health, Epidemiology, Health
Policy and Management, or Global Health.  Requirements for the MPH can be
completed in two sequential semesters.  Tuition for the MPH is not covered
by PhD fellowships offered by the Laney Graduate School, but the compressed
time to completion offers a significant benefit compared with applying to
the MPH program separately.  The PhD/MPH program provides training and
credentials that may facilitate careers in basic and applied health-related
research in academic or non-academic settings.  The Department of Sociology
offers area concentrations in health, social inequality, social psychology,
and culture, and students are encouraged to cross these areas in their
research.  In addition to department faculty whose research is focused on
health, a number of social scientists in the School of Public Health and the
School of Medicine are formally affiliated with the department. For more
information on the dual degree program, see the websites of:
