 *Dear all, please consider and circulate **the following call (see

*Apologies for cross-postings.*

*Best regards. Letizia Mencarini*


The Collegio Carlo Alberto (Centro di Ricerca e Alta Formazione), an
interdisciplinary research
centre in economics and social sciences (http://www.carloalberto.org/)
based in Moncalieri (TO,
Italy), seeks to fill *two post-doctoral research positions associated

 The principal investigator is professor Letizia Mencarini
http://www.carloalberto.org/people/faculty/fellows/mencarini/.


The project concerns *subjective well-being (SWB) and demographic
behaviour*, with a particular
focus on fertility in advanced societies, across time and space. Its
implementation relies upon
secondary data sources, both longitudinal and comparative in nature.
The project is
interdisciplinary and touches on several dimensions of social
sciences, including demography,
economics, sociology, gender studies, psychology and social policy.
*Under the supervision of the PI, the Post-doc researchers will be
responsible for the day-to-day *
*running of the project and contribute to its successful completion
through data management *
*statistical analysis, writing up scientific papers, as well as
dissemination of findings. The position*
*does not include any teaching. *


*The Candidate *
* The candidates should have a strong postgraduate degree (or be close
to final submission)
in a relevant area such as * demography, applied statistics,
econometrics or economics, *
*psychology, quantitative sociology, applied statistics, computer
science* (or any related discipline) - and have
*strong quantitative skills*. Knowledge of advanced applied
statistical methods and
econometric techniques, including panel data and multilevel regression
techniques is
necessary. Expert knowledge of STATA, SAS and other programming
languages is a benefit.
Knowledge of large scale data set, such as the GGS, EU-SILC, GSOEP,
BHPS, Understanding
Society, SHARE, HRS, HILDA, ESS or PSID, would also be an advantage.
* Excellent English writing skills required


*The positions *
* * Full-time contract for one year, renewable for up to 3 more years. *
* Salary: the gross annual salary is in the range 26,000 to 36,000
euros according to
individual experience
* The posts will be based at Collegio Carlo Alberto (in Moncalieri,
near Turin, I). The
candidate will have full access to events and facilities hosted at the Collegio.


*Recruitment calendar and selection procedure*

* Interviews (face to face or - in exceptional cases - via Skype) for
shortlisted candidates will
be held in April 2014
* The positions are available immediately, but start date is negotiable.
* The candidates will be evaluated by the recruitment committee
comprising project team
members and other members from the Collegio Carlo Alberto.
