CSSW is seeking a postdoctoral scholar with a PhD in economics, public
policy, social work, sociology or a related discipline to work with senior

faculty (Irwin Garfinkel, Ronald Mincy, Julien Teitler, and Jane Waldfogel)
for up to three years on an original research agenda utilizing data for the
Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study (FF study;
http://www.fragilefamilies.princeton.edu/about.asp).

The postdoctoral program strongly encourages applications from promising
scholars from historically underrepresented groups, including but not
limited to: Black/African-Americans; Hispanics/Latin at s; Native
Americans/Alaska Natives; persons having origins in any of the original
peoples of Hawaii, Guam, or Samoa. Applicant must be a US citizen or
permanent resident who will have completed his/her terminal degree no later
than five years before the start of the fellowship. Individuals who
received their terminal degree from Columbia or who have been a Columbia
postdoctoral scholar are not eligible for this program.
