2025–2027 Chloe Center Postdoctoral Fellowship

The Chloe Center for the Critical Study of Racism, Immigration, and Colonialism is pleased to announce a new two-year postdoctoral fellowship. Review of applications will begin on March 1, 2025.

Chloe Center Postdoctoral Fellowship Description

The Chloe Center for the Critical Study of Racism, Immigration, and Colonialism is an academic program exploring the historical and contemporary intersections of empire, migration, and racial hierarchy. It hosts programming both on and off the Johns Hopkins Homewood Campus and serves as home to a new undergraduate major, Critical Diaspora Studies.

The Chloe Center invites scholars conversant in ethnic studies and its adjacent disciplines in the humanities and social sciences to apply for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship, 2025–2027.

The postdoctoral fellowship, beginning on July 1, 2025, will support recent doctoral degree recipients (Ph.D. awarded no earlier than January 1, 2021) whose scholarship engages with questions and topics directly related to the Chloe Center’s mission.

The Chloe Center remains committed to analyzing institutional racism and probing connections among areas too often considered separately from one another, connections created by entangled histories of migration, colonialism, and social movements. The Center thus seeks scholars whose work moves beyond singular identitarian modes of knowledge production to study the overlaps, solidarities, and dissonances between geographical and cultural areas of study—such as Asian-American, African diaspora, Indigenous studies, and Latinx studies. The fellow will engage actively JHU’s interdisciplinary community of scholars, graduate students, and undergraduate students, as well as members of the wider public in Baltimore. We seek, especially, candidates interested in extending their research and public engagement in new directions in partnership and mentorship with Chloe Center faculty.

The fellow will carry out their own research and contribute to organizing campus and public-facing events. Over two years, the fellow will teach no more than five undergraduate courses in the Critical Diaspora Studies major. The fellow will also be invited to participate regularly in Chloe Center and other campus programming.

The Critical Diaspora Studies major consists of four tracks: Migration and Borders; Global Indigeneities; Empires, Wars, and Carceralities; and Solidarities, Social Movements, and Citizenship. The major emphasizes community-engaged learning and comparative and transnational methods. It was primarily envisioned by student activists. Scholars whose work engages with the Critical Diaspora Studies tracks of Global Indigeneities or Migration and Borders are particularly encouraged to apply.

Compensation

Fellows will be appointed for two years and will receive an annual stipend of $70,000, health insurance, and modest moving and research budgets.

Application

To apply, please provide a cover letter outlining a research and teaching agenda, a CV, a chapter- or article-length writing sample, and two course overviews (title, level/type of course, and one paragraph description), as well as the names and contact information for two references.

Submit applications at Interfolio. Applications received by March 1, 2025, will receive the best consideration.

PhD Studentship | University of Manchester

PhD Studentship | Social Statistics with focus on Digital and Computational Demography

We are pleased to invite applications to a 3.5-year University of Manchester doctoral studentship in Social Statistics. The studentship is jointly funded by the Social Statistics Department, University of Manchester, UK, and the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR), Germany, one of the world-leading research centres in population sciences.

In many countries, migration has become a key driver of population change. However, traditional data on migration often lack precision, are biased or are reported with large delays. Digital traces and big data often contain information on human mobility but new methods are required to use and integrate these new forms of data with data derived from traditional sources. This is an excellent opportunity for highly-motivated and qualified candidates to work with an international team on developing cutting-edge novel statistical and computational methods in estimating and forecasting human migration with the use of traditional and new forms of data, including for developing and low-income countries. Research outputs will also contribute to the Human Migration Database, currently developed by the MPIDR.

The successful applicant will spend the first 21 months at the Social Statistics Department, University of Manchester. They will be working in a vibrant community of PhD students in Social Statistics, Social Data Analytics and Biosocial Research. They will participate in research activities of the Department, such as seminars and research away-days, and will have an opportunity to teach as Graduate Teaching Assistants. The remainder of the 21 months of the studentship will be spent at the MPIDR in the Department of Digital and Computational Demography. The successful candidate is expected to enrol in the MPIDR IMPRS-PHDS programme.

It is expected that the PhD student will prepare a thesis as a collection of research articles according to the postgraduate research policies of the University of Manchester.

Bachelor’s (Honours) degree in a cognate subject at 2:1 or above (or overseas equivalent); and
Master’s degree in a relevant subject – with an overall average of 65% or above, a minimum mark of 65% in your dissertation and no mark below 55% (or overseas equivalent)

PhD Student | Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research

PhD Student | Research Group Migration and Health Inequalities

The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) is seeking to appoint a full-time PhD student to join the ERC-funded Research Group on Migration and Health Inequalities. The group, led by Silvia Loi, brings together experts from Demography, Quantitative Sociology, and Social Epidemiology to address the pressing scientific and societal question: Why do immigrants age in poorer health compared to non-immigrants?
The research group agenda builds up on these three research areas:

quantify the gaps in healthy ageing trajectories between immigrants and non-immigrants by age, gender, socioeconomic status, and their interactions;
identify the critical events and circumstances in immigrants’ lives that put them on a different healthy ageing trajectory from non-immigrants;
study the impact of family composition and family ties in mitigating health inequalities by migration background.

We are seeking a qualified and highly motivated student with a quantitative background with interests at the intersection of migration, ageing and health, broadly defined. The successful candidate must have a Master’s degree in Demography, Sociology, Social Epidemiology or related fields, and a strong quantitative background. Candidates with interests in topics surrounding migration, health and ageing in any setting and comparing across gender, socioeconomic class, or geographical location are welcome.
