Dear colleagues,

We’d appreciate if you’d circulate this call for applications to potential
postdoctoral fellows:



The Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies
<https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/population-development/> is currently
accepting applications for two postdoctoral fellowships: the Sloan
Fellowship on Aging and Work and the David E. Bell Fellowship. The deadline
to apply is Friday, December 8, 2017.



*Sloan Fellowship on Aging and Work*

The Sloan Fellowship
<https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/population-development/postdoctoral-fellowships/111350048435-2/>
is an interdisciplinary, postdoctoral training program that will address
the challenges of aging societies and labor force participation in the
United States. Fellows conduct self-directed, interdisciplinary research
under the guidance of Harvard faculty mentors. In broad terms, projects
should shed light on the current challenges of working longer and potential
solutions to the ways in which the United States' public and private
sectors will need to adapt to an aging work force. Expectations are that
the research derived from the fellowship will be used to support improved
workplace policies at various institutions as well as increase the public’s
understanding of aging and labor force challenges. In addition to research
and writing, fellows participate in weekly work-in-progress sessions,
leadership skill building seminars, and communications & media skills
training. Fellows also have access to multiple educational opportunities at
Harvard. One finalist will be selected.



*The David E. Bell Postdoctoral Fellowship*

The Bell Fellowship
<https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/population-development/postdoctoral-fellowships/bell-fellowship/>
is an interdisciplinary, postdoctoral training program designed for
researchers and practitioners in the field of population sciences. Through
self-directed research, selected candidates will examine a broad range of
critical issues, most from within the HCPDS's focal areas, including:
social and environmental determinants of population health; aging
societies; workplace & well-being; and social/family demography. Fellows
participate in population science seminars, weekly work-in-progress
sessions, leadership skill building seminars, and communications & media
skills training. Fellows also have access to multiple educational
opportunities at Harvard. Two finalists will be selected.



For both fellowships, the salary is $60K/yr plus benefits and a generous
research/travel/relocation fund. Both are open to U.S. and international
candidates.
