The post-doc will work with CSSW Social Policy faculty (Irwin Garfinkel, Ronald Mincy, Julien Teitler, and Jane Waldfogel) for up to three years on an original research agenda utilizing data for the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study (FF study; <a href="http://www.fragilefamilies.princeton.edu/about.asp">http://www.fragilefamilies.princeton.edu/about.asp</a>). </div>
<div><br></div><div>The postdoctoral program strongly encourages applications from promising scholars from historically underrepresented groups, including but not limited to: Black/African-Americans; Hispanics/Latin@s; Native Americans/Alaska Natives; persons having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, or Samoa.
