JOE - February 2011

The RAND Corporation is accepting applications for one postdoctoral fellowship in Population Studies. This competitive program, sponsored by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, enables outstanding scholars to sharpen their analytic skills and advance their research agenda in the field of population studies. Scholars come from various disciplines including, but not limited to, economics, demography, and sociology.

Housed within RAND's Labor and Population Program, the program blends formal and informal training and extensive collaboration with distinguished researchers without teaching obligations. One-year fellowships are renewable for a second year and provide a competitive stipend and health insurance. Fellows must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, and must have completed a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline before they begin the program. The program is open to new scholars, as well as individuals who have some research experience or are on leave from an academic position. Fellowships are initially for a period of one year, renewable for a second year.

The expected start date is summer/fall 2011 but is negotiable. Additional information and application materials are available at: http://www.rand.org/labor/fellows/population.html

Application materials may be sent to Katherine Lee, The RAND Corporation, 1776 Main Street, Santa Monica, CA, 90407-2138.
