Employment Opportunities
Postdoctoral Research Associate in Population Studies
The PSTC invites applications for a postdoctoral position to start July 1, 2027. The anticipated duration of the position is one (1) year with opportunity to renew up-to-two years depending on performance. We welcome applications from candidates with a Ph.D. in a relevant social science discipline (e.g., anthropology, economics, sociology, demography, public policy, or related) awarded within the last three years, or who will have completed all degree requirements at least two weeks prior to the start date. We also welcome applicants with financial support from other sources, including the NIH F32 Individual Postdoctoral Fellowship.
Postdoctoral Research Associates are expected to spend their time working on independent research, and they may also collaborate with one or more mentors among our faculty affiliates. In addition, Postdoctoral Research Associates are expected to be active members of the PSTC community (e.g., participate in relevant workshops, regularly attend weekly PSTC Colloquia, present their work to the PSTC community, present research at the Population Association of America (PAA) annual meetings, and submit one or more articles for publication). They are also encouraged to prepare grant applications. In some cases, they will teach a course in their area of expertise. Applicants should visit our PSTC faculty page and identify one or two potential faculty mentors; however, applicants are not required to contact potential mentors prior to submitting an application.
