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. 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

Policy, Human Development or a related social science discipline by August

filled. The Postdoctoral Fellow will receive a salary of $55,000 per year
for two years plus funds for research and travel.

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,

of a faculty mentor at Cornell who will work closely with the Postdoctoral
Research Fellow. For questions, please contact Laura Tach at
