December 21, 2010 - University of Michigan Postdoctoral Fellowships
The Population Studies Center (PSC) of the University of Michigan expects to have openings for postdoctoral fellows sponsored by NIA. Positions to start on or about September 1, 2011. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in demography, public health, or one of the social sciences (e.g. sociology, economics, psychology, history, anthropology) at the starting date. An interest in population-based research on aging (broadly defined) is important. Examples of such research would include: research on disability trends in older or middle aged populations, premature aging of minority populations, migration patterns of the elderly, and wealth accumulation across the life course. Selection will be based on scholarly potential and compatibility with the interests of a faculty mentor. Fellows devote most of their time to independent research, but may also take selected courses and/or teach on a light-load basis. Positions offer exceptional opportunity for collaboration with staff of the Population Studies Center on major projects in the U.S. and overseas. Term of appointment two years. Stipend commensurate with experience, based on levels mandated by NIA. Candidates must be U.S. citizens, non-citizen nationals, or permanent residents of the United States at the time of application. Screening of applications will begin on January 14, 2011 and will continue until positions are filled. Send letter of application, curriculum vitae, 1-2 page statement of research interests detailing your planned research while at PSC (please do not omit) and examples of written work via email to Ms. Heather MacFarland (hmacfarl@umich.edu). Also, please arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent directly from the author to Ms. MacFarland via email. All documents should be in PDF format and contain the applicant's last name in the file name. The Center is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer More Info
