Dear Leora,

I heard that you distribute a job mailing list, so I'd be happy if you
could circulate this ad for a position in Stockholm.

Sociologist/Social Scientist

The Institute for Futures Studies (IFFS), Stockholm, is appointing a
researcher to the project Children's living conditions in a changing
society: Socioeconomic and ethnic inequality. The project is concerned with
social and ethnic inequalities among young people in present-day society,
including intergenerational processes and segregation mechanisms, and is
funded by a long-term grant by Forte (Swedish Research Council for Health,
Working Life, and Welfare). It covers five major themes: educational
inequality, child poverty, school and wellbeing, ethnic integration, and
family structure. Around ten researchers at IFFS and Swedish Institute for
Social Research at Stockholm University are currently engaged within the
project, and much of the research involves international collaboration.
IFFS, located in the heart of Stockholm city, hosts several related
large-scale research projects, including projects on school and labour
market segregation, employing and collaborating with internationally
renowned scholars within sociology and related disciplines (www.iffs.se/en).

We seek an outstanding quantitative social scientist whose research
interests and qualifications fall into one or more of the project themes.
The successful candidate is expected to pursue their own research as well
as collaborating with colleagues within the project and its international
network. Fluency in English and experience in handling and analyzing
micro-level data is a requirement, and knowledge of advanced statistical
methods and proficiency in languages relevant for the work in the project
(Swedish, German, Dutch) is a merit. A PhD is expected to be awarded by the
time of appointment, but excellent applicants in the final stages of their
PhD will also be considered.

We can offer a stimulating research environment, extraordinary data
materials (including micro-level population register data and the CILS4EU
longitudinal study: www.cils4.eu), and competitive salaries. The position
will initially be appointed for three years, with a possible extension, and
should preferably be taken up at latest by September 2014. The position
entails no teaching or supervision obligations, and project-related
administrative chores of no more than 15% of the working time. The salary
level depends on qualification, starting at 39,000 SEK a month (appr.
53,000 Euro or 72,000 USD per annum).

Applicants should submit, preferably by email:
1. A letter of application with a description of research interests (max 3
pages) 2. Curriculum Vitae, listing work experience and publications 3.
Examples of published work or dissertation chapters (max 3 items) 4. Two
references (name, position, email address)

The deadline for applications is March 16th 2014. Applications should be
sent to carina.mood at iffs.se or Carina Mood, Institute for Futures Studies,
Box 591, 101 31 Stockholm, Sweden
