[Jobs] brown postdocs - two more positions

[Leora Lawton]

The PSTC has at least two openings for one or two-year postdoctoral
positions starting as early as July 1, 2014.

*One position is for a Postdoctoral Research Associate and the other is for
an NICHD-Funded Postdoctoral Fellow**.*   .

Research at the PSTC is innovative and interdisciplinary (
http://www.pstc.brown.edu). It is distinguished by its commitment to
collaboration across disciplinary and institutional boundaries as well as
its strong portfolio of research in developing country settings. The scope
of PSTC research encompasses traditional topics of interest to
demographers, such as fertility, mortality, and migration, as well as a
much broader range of issues, including environmental change, social
determinants of health, gender, family structure, residential segregation,
and the consequences of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Opportunities also exist to
build on connections the PSTC has with other interdisciplinary units at
Brown, such as the Watson Institute for International Studies,
Environmental Change Initiative, Global Health Initiative, National
Children's Study, and more. Potential applicants are encouraged to consult
the PSTC website to learn of research activities, intra-institutional
links, and faculty associate interests.

As part of a research unit with a strong culture of collaboration,
postdoctoral fellows are expected to spend about half of their time working
independently and about half of their time working together with one or
more mentors from among our faculty Research Associates.  In addition,
postdoctoral fellows are expected to regularly attend the weekly PSTC
Colloquia, present to the colloquia during the second year of their
postdoctoral appointment, present research at the Population Association of
America (PAA) annual meetings, and submit one or more articles for
publication.
