2020 PSC Postdoctoral Fellowship
Posted: 11/10/2019 (Employment)
The Population Studies Center at the University of Michigan-Institute for Social Research expects to have up to three openings for Postdoctoral Fellowships beginning on or about September 1, 2020. Two fellowship openings will be sponsored by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), and up to one fellowship will be sponsored by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). NIA and NICHD are divisions of the U.S. National Institute of Health (NIH). As such, only U.S. Citizens and U.S. Permanent Residents are eligible for these fellowships, and applicants must be Citizens or Permanent Residents of the United States at the time of application.
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 faculty of the Population Studies Center and Survey Research Center at the Institute for Social Research on major projects in the U.S. and overseas. Term of appointment will be for two years, contingent on continued funding. Stipend will be commensurate with experience, based on levels mandated by NIH. Fellowship offers are typically made in mid/late February.
The following application materials are required:
• Letter of application
• Curriculum Vitae – which must include citizenship status on the first page
• Statement of research interests – A 1-2 page statement describing current research interests and activity, and a research plan for the postdoctoral fellowship period. Applicants wishing to be considered for support by NIA should describe their background in aging research, if any, and propose an aging-related research project that focuses on the health of the elderly or near-elderly population.
• Examples of written work – 2 minimum/3 (maximum) preferred
• Letters of Recommendation – Three letters of recommendation. Please use the Interfolio tools to send requests to your recommenders, or upload letters already saved to Interfolio. Letters are due by January 6, 2020. Applications are not considered complete until recommendation letters are received.
