The Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung gGmbH (WZB Berlin Social Science Centre) is offering a position of a Postdoctoral researcher.
The position will be within the interdisciplinary research unit Migration, Integration and Transnationalization (MIT), headed by Prof. Dr. Ruud Koopmans.
The researcher will work on the project “A rolling stone gathers no moss? Residential mobility among ethnic minorities in Germany and its consequences for well-being and social embeddedness (WELLMOB)”, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and directed by Professor Dr. Sarah Carol and Associate Professor Dr. Merlin Schaeffer. The central question of the research project is: What are the consequences of spatial mobility among immigrant minorities for their subjective well-being, as well as for further classic dimensions of their integration? To answer this question, the project team will analyze the data of the German Socio-Economic Panel Study.
The position is full-time (currently 39 weekly hours) and with a duration of two years. The starting date should be no later than November 2019.

The UC Berkeley Demography program is widely regarded as one of the best and most creative in the world. We occupy a unique niche in the population studies landscape, with a strong focus on formal demography, population theory, and the relationship between demographic dynamics and social, cultural, and economic dynamics.
The UC Berkeley Department of Demography seeks applicants for two postdoctoral research positions to study demography of aging and population sciences, broadly defined. The two T32 postdoctoral positions are funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), complementing UC Berkeley’s NIA-funded Center on the Economics and Demography of Aging (CEDA, http://www.populationsciences.berkeley.edu/ceda). The postdoctoral fellow’s research focus could include areas of Berkeley faculty research including CEDA signature areas such as mortality measurement, policy and behavioral determinants of adult health, biodemography of aging, and macro consequences of global aging.
The Fellow will be expected to work part of their time independently developing their own research portfolio in the demography of aging, and to work part of their time on collaborative mentored research with a Berkeley faculty member.
Responsibilities:
Conduct research on significant issues in some aspect of demography of aging, broadly defined
Receive grant-writing training and support in order to develop a proposal for supplemental NIH funding
Get training in responsible conduct of research
Attend departmental colloquia and other related events
If interested and qualified, teach an undergraduate course (with additional funding)
We also expect fellows to attend the Population Association of America (PAA) annual meetings, and to submit population-focused articles for publication during their time at UC Berkeley.
Minimum/Basic Qualifications required:
PhD or equivalent international degree by the time of application.
US Citizen or permanent resident.
Preferred Qualifications (by start date):
Experience in working with large data sets
Knowledge of one or two statistical analysis packages or programming (e.g., R, SAS, and/or Stata)
Qualitative and mixed methods skills
No more than five years of research experience since receipt of PhD
Appointment: The initial appointment will be made at 100% time for 1 year with a start date of September 15, 2019 through spring 2020. Thereafter, with the possibility of renewal based on satisfactory performance and availability of extramural funding and support.
