The International Journal of Population Data Science (IJPDS) has issued a call for editors. If you’re interested in the position, you can find the link here.

The Institute of Education Sciences has released two new requests for applications for fiscal year 2024 (FY 2024) and invites applications for the Using Longitudinal Data to Support State Education Policymaking Grants program (84.305S) and the Transformative Research in the Education Sciences Grants program (84.305T) with applications due August 17, 2023.

Through the Using Longitudinal Data to Support State Education Policymaking grant program, IES supports state agencies to use their state’s education longitudinal data systems (SLDS) to provide evidence for their own program and policy decisions and those of their local education agencies. Data from other sources may also be included to help address the state agency’s research questions. For FY 2024, the program will support research to identify and reduce opportunity and achievement gaps for learners from prekindergarten through adult education. State agencies may apply for these grants on their own or in collaboration with other organizations.

Through the Transformative Research program, IES seeks to support innovative research that has the potential to make dramatic advances towards solving seemingly intractable problems and challenges in the education field and/or to accelerate the pace of conducting education research to facilitate major breakthroughs.  For FY 2024, the program will focus on accelerating learning and reducing persistent education inequities by leveraging evidence-based principles from the learning sciences coupled with advanced technology to create high-reward, scalable technology solutions.

For more information about these research opportunities and the application process, visit the IES Funding Opportunities web page.

IES will provide virtual office hours for this new competition.  Please see the Digital Technical Assistance web page for additional details.

The Office of Population Research (OPR) at Princeton University is seeking a postdoctoral research associate, or more senior researcher to join a team of researchers working on an NIH funded project focused on developing new systems models to examine social and biological drivers of infection inequality. The overarching goal of this postdoctoral position is to advance the use of mathematical and statistical models of infectious disease transmission as tools for anticipating and addressing socioeconomic and geographic inequalities in infectious disease morbidity and mortality, with a particular focus on the impact of these factors on minoritized and marginalized groups (e.g. race/ethnic, sex/gender minority groups as well as others with stigmatized identities). This requires an individual who is methodologically and theoretically adventurous, committed to health justice, and who is excited to stake out new terrain at the intersection of social demography, infectious disease epidemiology and social epidemiology.

The Research Administrator 2 will provide administrative support for the Center on the Economics and Demography of Aging. He or she will liaise between the center leadership and campus support services, as well as with other faculty and staff, federal agencies, and professional associations.

Primary focus will be managing budgets and projections, both overall and for specific sub-projects and events; submitting purchasing, contracts, reimbursements and HR requests; event coordination; and writing progress reports.

The Population Health Initiative has an outstanding opportunity for a Temporary Research Scientist to join our team. This position is full-time and anticipated to be 11 months in duration. The Research Scientist will be a core member of a mixed-methods study to compare resilient immunization programs in the United States and Canada to reduce racial gaps in vaccination levels. Key activities include measuring and reviewing changes in vaccine equity in Canada over time, identifying which public health interventions or public policies have most effectively improved immunization equity, and comparing findings with a recently completed study of U.S. immunization programs. The Population Health Initiative engages and galvanizes stakeholders from across the UW, the region, and the globe toward achieving the vision of creating a world where all people can live healthier and more fulfilling lives. This position acts as a critical resource to translate that vision into reality by supporting the completion of a key, initiative-led research project.
