[Jobs] Brown U Postdoc

[Leora Lawton]

Brown University: DOF: Population Studies & Training Center

Postdoctoral Fellow

Location: Providence, RI
------------------------------

The Population Studies and Training Center (PSTC) at Brown University is
currently recruiting a two-year Postdoctoral Fellow to start on or around
July 1, 2018. *This position is sponsored by NIH and contingent on
continued funding.*

 Research at the PSTC is innovative and interdisciplinary. It is
distinguished by its commitment for collaboration across disciplinary and
institutional boundaries as well as its strong portfolio of global
research. The scope of PSTC research encompasses traditional topics of
interest to demographers, such as migration and family processes, as well
as a much broader range of issues, including environmental change, social
inequalities and health, gender, family structure, residential segregation,
and HIV/AIDS epidemic. Opportunities also exist to build upon connections
the PSTC has with other interdisciplinary units at Brown, such as Watson
Institute for International and Policy Affairs, Institute at Brown for
Environment and Society, Spatial Structures in the Social Sciences, School
of Public Health, Data Sciences Initiative, and more. Potential applicants
are encouraged to consult the PSTC website <http://www.pstc.brown.edu/> to
learn of research activities, intra-institutional links, and faculty
affiliate interests.

 As part of a research unit with a strong culture of collaboration,
postdoctoral fellows are expected to spend part of their time working
independently and part of their time working collaboratively with one or
more mentors from among our faculty affiliates. In addition, postdoctoral
associates are expected to coordinate or participate in relevant working
groups, regularly attend the weekly PSTC Colloquia and other PSTC workshops
and mentoring activities, present their work to the PSTC community, present
research at the Population Association of America (PAA) annual meetings,
and submit one or more articles for publication. They are also encouraged
to prepare grant applications. We request that applicants visit our PSTC
faculty page
<https://www.brown.edu/academics/population-studies/about-us/people/faculty>
and identify one or two potential faculty mentors; however, applicants do
not need to contact potential mentors prior to submitting an application.

Screening of applications will begin on January 25, and will continue until
the position is filled.

 *QUALIFICATIONS*

NIH requires that applicants be citizens or permanent residents of the
United States at the time of application. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in
anthropology, economics, sociology, demography, or a related social science
discipline at time of appointment.

 *APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS*

Applicants should provide an up-to-date CV, 2 example(s) of written work,
and a cover letter with the following information: research interests and
plans, 1 or 2 anticipated PSTC faculty mentor(s), and future employment
goals. Please have three letters of recommendation submitted online through
