problems; leading and contributing to research papers and publications; and
developing new methods and/or instructional resources for advanced spatial
analysis. The individual will have opportunities to work on their own research
as well as partner with existing research teams at Penn State. As the research
scientist will meet with faculty in many disciplines and encounter diverse
types of data and methods, the applicant should have a PhD in a relevant field
(sociology, geography, economics, etc.), and possess a broad array of skills in
research methods with an emphasis on spatial statistics and GIS applications in
the health and social sciences; experience in the area of network data and
analysis would also be a plus. Interaction with faculty will also require
excellent management, organizational, and oral & written communication
skills. Experience and high levels of familiarity with a diverse set of health
and social science data sets is preferred. This is a fixed-term renewable
appointment based at the University Park campus. Full Penn State benefits are

<p class="MsoNormal" style><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Tahoma">Indiana University, Bloomington is
pleased to accept applications for two Postdoctoral Fellowships for scholars in
a broad range of fields, including African American and African Diaspora
Studies, American Studies (includes Native American Studies), Anthropology,
History, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. Postdoctoral fellows are
an important component of the intellectual life of CRRES. The CRRES fellowship
program aims to create a legacy of qualified scholars who will be positioned to
address the broad issue of race and ethnicity in the United States using a
multidisciplinary lens. These fellowships are designed to nurture the academic
careers of scholars by allowing them the opportunity to pursue their research
while gaining mentored experience as teachers, CRRES fellows, and members of
the faculty in host departments. We are looking for self-motivated and
highly-organized individuals who can work independently and as members of a
team. Appropriate areas of specialization include U.S. coverage of: (1)
immigration, immigrant politics, and/or immigrant experiences; (2) race,
ethnicity, and religion; (3) health disparities, health policy, and health
economics; (4) racial attitudes; (5) minorities and social movements; and (6)
social inequality. We welcome cross-national research as long as there is a
comparison with U.S. groups, with a substantial focus on the American
experience. <b>Terms of Agreement </b>Fellows are expected to pursue
research activities associated with their primary area(s) of work, as
demonstrated by conference presentations (including CRRES) and published works.
Fellows will also teach two courses in their home departments in each year of
their residency; are expected to participate in CRRES activities; and take part
in their home departments’ colloquia and/or seminars. The positions are available
for two years beginning August 1, 2014 through May 31, 2016, at a 10-month
starting salary of $51,500. Each postdoctoral fellow will also receive
$3,000/yr. in research support and Indiana University health benefits. Fellows
are allocated office space (with basic office supplies), a computer, and
printer. <b>Application Process </b>We invite applications from
qualified candidates who are at the beginning of their academic careers, having
received the Ph.D. in 2012 or 2013 but who do not hold tenure-track academic
positions. Candidates who do not hold a Ph.D. but expect to by June 30,
2014 must supply a letter from the chair of their dissertation committee,
confirming the proposed timeline for completion. Interested candidates should
review the application requirements and submit their application at: <span style="color:rgb(0,0,100)"><a href="http://indiana.peopleadmin.com/" target="_blank">http://indiana.peopleadmin.com</a></span>.
All applicants must file or deposit their dissertations no later than June
30, 2014. Candidates should be prepared to submit a cover letter, CV, personal
statement (approximately 3000 words describing their dissertation project, work
in progress, professional goals and plans for publication, and proposed major
field[s] of teaching), and three letters of reference. If available, applicants
may also submit materials demonstrating their aptitude as teachers. Incomplete
dossiers will not be reviewed. Following review by the CRRES postdoctoral
committee, strong applications will be circulated to relevant departments.
