<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Cambria><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The
Columbia Population Research Center (CPRC) seeks a Research Scientist (RS) to
join the Center and assist in managing and carrying out a number of its major
research initiatives. CPRC is a multidisciplinary community of scholars unified
by a commitment to research that addresses the health and wellbeing of
vulnerable populations in the context of local and global inequalities and that
informs policies affecting those populations. CPRC promotes research in four
signature areas: children, youth, and families; HIV/AIDS and reproductive
health; immigration/migration; and urbanism.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Cambria><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Cambria><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The
primary responsibility of the RS will be oversight and implementation of a
recent major grant award from the Robin Hood Foundation for CPRC to create one
or more measures of poverty and disadvantage for New York City that provide a
better guide to grant making than the federal and city official measures of
poverty; and to research the most effective way to survey the needs of New
Yorkers, especially those who are poor and near poor—possibly leading to
development of the first Internet$B!>(Jbased survey infrastructure of its kind. The
RS will serve as project director on this initiative and work primarily on the
development of a poverty standard and survey infrastructure as the project goes
into the field in the fall of 2012. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Cambria><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Cambria><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The
second major responsibility of the RS will be oversight, management, and
participation in CPRC$B!G(Js major grants from the NICHD and Russell Sage Foundation
on the impacts of the Great Recession on Fragile Families. The analyses will be
based on data from The Fragile Families Study (FFS), which is particularly
well-suited for studying the short run effects of unemployment and the Great
Recession on family functioning and child well-being. The FFS is a nationally representative,
longitudinal, birth cohort survey of children born between 1998 and 2000 in
large <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>
cities (population of 200,000 or more), with a large oversample of births to
unmarried couples—a very disadvantaged population. The RS$B!G(J responsibility will be
helping execute the research promised under our NICHD and Russell Sage grants,
and work with senior staff and affiliates at CPRC to produce a monograph on
that research, as well as associated products, including but not limited to six
research/policy briefs distilling the research$B!G(Js findings for a wide audience.(J <(Jo:p(J><(J/o:p(J><(J/span(J><(J/font(J><(J/p(J>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Cambria><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The
RS will also be responsible for a number of other key CPRC tasks, including:
(a) assisting in the management and administration of the above grants and
contracts; (b) supervising and collaborating with both senior and junior CPRC
researchers, staff, and students; (c) assisting in the development of future
grants to support CPRC; and (d) assist in efforts to improve CPRC$B!G(Js
communication and dissemination efforts, including drafting and editing of
publications for policy and practice audiences.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
