*Postdoctoral Researcher*

*Aging Studies Institute*

*Syracuse University*



The Aging Studies Institute at Syracuse University invites applications for
a postdoctoral researcher to work with a team examining trends and spatial
patterns in the ways that educational attainment shapes mortality in the
United States. The project, “Education, Geography, and U.S. Adult
Mortality,” is funded by the NIA and led by Principal Investigator Jennifer
Karas Montez at Syracuse University (with co-investigators across four
universities).



The postdoc will work with the project team, conduct analyses of mortality
data at a Federal Research Data Center (located nearby at Cornell
University), coauthor peer-reviewed publications, and present research at
conferences.

The two-year postdoc will start in August 2018. The position will receive a
salary commensurate with NIH guidelines (
https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-17-003.html),
subsidized health insurance, $2000 to offset moving expenses, and travel
funds to present research. The position will have access to university
resources and office space at the Aging Studies Institute (ASI). ASI is
located in the heart of the Syracuse University campus and has a vibrant
community of 45 faculty representing 17 academic departments.



Applicants must have a Ph.D. in demography, sociology, economics, public
health, or related discipline at the starting date. Due to the funding
source and the use of a Federal Research Data Center, applicants must be
U.S. citizens/permanent residents at the time of appointment and be able to
pass a federal background check. The applicant must be in residence for the
two-year period. Preference will be given to applicants with strong
