Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Demography, to work on the CenSoc Project. One-year appointment with possibility of one-year renewal. This appointment is contingent upon receipt of the Ph.D. prior to the start date. Start date is negotiable but as early as March 1st, 2023.

 The CenSoc project is funded by NIA (R01 AG058940) to understand mortality. It consists of a set of linked data sets between the 1940 Full Count Census data with Social Security death records. This large-scale, public microdata data set is being used for advancing understanding of mortality disparities in the United States. The project uses record linkage techniques to match deaths aged 65-and-over observed from 1975 to 2009 back to individual, family, and neighborhood characteristics in the census. The scale and detail of CenSoc data allows researchers to make new discoveries in areas such as (a) mortality disparities by education, national origin, and race; (b) early life conditions and later-life mortality; and (c) geographic variation and the neighborhood determinants of mortality. These topics are of increasing importance in understanding increases in disparities in life expectancy in the United States. CenSoc research expands the ability to study old-age mortality disparities and the determinants of longevity. Please visit the website censoc.berkeley.edu for more information about the project.

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.

The 2023 Berkeley Interdisciplinary Migration Institute is hosting its fifth summer institute.  Next summer it will focus on interviewing for migration research.  Several UW faculty and students have participated over the years and it has proven to be an important and productive program.  Here is a link to the program details.

Stanford University invites applications for one or more faculty appointments at the assistant, associate, or full professor level in the broad area of environmental behavioral sciences. The search is looking for candidates involved in the study of human behavior, human ecology, or human institutions as they pertain to sustainability, climate change, adaptation, or resilience. This search is part of a broader effort to build an environmental behavior sciences department in the new Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability (SDSS). Appointments from this search will be made in SDSS. Candidates must have a PhD, JD, or terminal degree in a field relevant to the search, an excellent record of scholarly work, a dedication to teaching, and a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

They seek interdisciplinary scholars from the broad set of social and behavioral sciences. Purely by way of example, this includes scholars from psychology, cognitive or decision science, geography, demography and population science, political science, anthropology, sociology, socioecological systems, law, and other related fields. They are also interested in scholars working on a broad set of topics. These topics include, but are not limited to, decision making in environmental contexts, political ecology, political economy, global institutions, adaptation, management of common-pool resources and cooperation, resilience, behavior change and cultural evolution, spatial and data science, and environmental justice. We are also interested in scholars studying environmental ethics, the connections between human health and the environment, and the use of computational social science to understand environmental sustainability.

Application packages should be submitted online at this link: https://facultypositions.stanford.edu/cw/en-us/job/493531/search-in-environmental-behavioral-sciences. Packages must include: (1) a curriculum vitae; (2) a research statement and statement of teaching interests (no more than 3 pages total for both); (3) a statement that demonstrates your commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in your scholarship, teaching, and/or service, including how this commitment would continue in a career at Stanford (1 page); (4) name and contact information for three references; and (5) a cover letter.

The Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science (IAPHS) will be hosting it’s Fall conference on “Gender, Sexuality, and Health Across the Life Course: Current Challenges and Opportunities for Population Health and Health Equity”. Groups of individuals are invited to submit panels that will present original research or engage in innovative discussions that push the boundaries of population health science, practice, theory, methods, student training, or technological innovations (or a combination of these) around a significant issue related to population health. Note that work presented in these panels should not yet be published. All proposed panels should include the session organizer, and 3-4 panelists. To sign up click here.
