Postdoctoral Scholar – Social Environments and Population Health
The Population Research Institute at The Pennsylvania State University anticipates an opening for a Postdoctoral Scholar in Social Environments and Population Health, starting on or around August 15, 2025, contingent on funding availability. The Postdoctoral Scholar will devote time to independent research, collaborations with faculty mentors, and mentored training and professionalization.
This position is funded for one year from the start date, with the possibility of renewal for an additional year, conditional on successful progress.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in a social science field such as sociology, demography, family studies, anthropology, economics, public policy, or related fields using social science approaches (e.g., epidemiology) by the start date, and have training and research experience in demographic processes (fertility, mortality, migration, and family formation), especially as they are relevant to social environments and population health. Additionally, applicants must demonstrate interest and capacity for independent research, evidence or clear plans for an emerging publication record, have outstanding writing and communication skills, and be able to work effectively on a team.
