Subject: Harvard Pop Studies Ctr: Postdoc Training Opportunities


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 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 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 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.
