Postdoctoral Researcher (Centre for Demographic Studies) – Barcelona, Spain
Posted: 2/4/2023 (Employment)
The Department of Sociology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, UAB) invites applications for two postdoctoral researcher positions (Investigador ordinari) in the ERC-funded research project LIFELONGMOVE “Understanding spatial mobility from early life into adulthood”. This 5-year project is led by Professor Sergi Vidal and will kick off in early 2023. The project will be carried out in the Centre for Demographic Studies (Centre d’Estudis Demogràfics, CED) located at the UAB campus. The posts require collaborative research stays within Europe and travel for conferences, training and dissemination activities.
The successful applicants will have demonstrated experience in longitudinal data modelling, working with large, complex datasets. The postdoctoral researchers are expected to make a leading contribution to the LIFELONGMOVE project. They will contribute to the development of the project’s methodological and theoretical tasks –developing their own research agenda and engaging in collaborative research– and to contribute to the management of the project and coordination of project related activities. There are no teaching obligations associated to this post, except for the co-supervision of more junior project members.
