*Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunity at Cornell University*

The Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research (BCTR) at Cornell
University is recruiting a two-year Postdoctoral Research Fellow
(Postdoctoral Associate) with interests in research on poverty, social
policy, and child well-being. The Postdoctoral Fellow will have the
opportunity to work closely with, and receive mentorship and training from,
one or more of the program’s interdisciplinary social science faculty in
the College of Human Ecology
<http://www.human.cornell.edu/research/faculty-directory.cfm>. The
Postdoctoral fellow will also play a central role in extension efforts that
translate social policy research for local, state, and national
policymakers and practitioners. Special consideration will be given to
applicants with interests in developing and applying their skills in the
quantitative analysis of administrative data.  Click here
<https://www.bctr.cornell.edu/> for more information on the Bronfenbrenner
Center.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Sociology, Demography, Economics, Public
Policy, Human Development or a related social science discipline by August
15, 2017. Review of applications will begin January 15, 2017, but we may
consider applications received after that date until the position is
filled.  The Postdoctoral Fellow will receive a salary of $55,000 per year
for two years plus funds for research and travel.

To apply, go to https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/8727.  Applications
should include: a) a research statement discussing prior research
experience and how this opportunity would further the applicant’s
professional goals, b) a curriculum vita, c) two examples of written work,
and d) the names of three references. Selection will be based on scholarly
potential, ability to work in multi-disciplinary settings, and the support
of a faculty mentor at Cornell who will work closely with the Postdoctoral
Research Fellow. For questions, please contact Laura Tach at
lauratach at cornell.edu or Rachel Dunifon red26 at cornell.edu.
