The Department of Sociology at the University of Western Ontario invites applications for a postdoctoral scholar in Sociology and Demography as part of the SSHRC and CIHR funded project CREW.

The main datasets for this project will be SHARE, the Canadian General Social Survey, and the GGS (Generations and Gender Surveys). We will also use microsimulation to examine how the population of older adults without (close) kin may change in the future. The initial duration for this position is one year, with the possibility of extension of up to 1.5 additional years. The position will be supervised by Dr. Rachel Margolis.
