JOE - September 2011

The Survey Research Center in the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan invites applications from outstanding candidates for Faculty Research Fellow appointments in any area of social science research including anthropology, demography, economics, education, geography, psychology, public health, social epidemiology, social work, sociology, survey methodology, statistics, and urban studies. Faculty Research Fellow appointments are designed to be commensurate and competitive with tenure-track academic or research appointments at any leading research university or organization, and are intended to lead directly into a Research Professor tenure-track career within the Survey Research Center.

We seek to attract the very best early career social scientists whose interests and aspirations incline them toward a career doing externally funded interdisciplinary social science research on problems of social and scientific importance (e.g., education, poverty and social welfare, psychosocial and economic factors of aging and health, social and psychological development of individuals and families over the life course).

Applicants may initiate the process by submitting a letter describing their scholarly activities and interests in SRC, along with a curriculum vita, names of three references, and one or two recent publications or working papers. Concurrently, applicants should request that the three letters of reference be sent directly to the e-mail address below. Send applications, letters of reference, and inquiries electronically to SRCSearch@isr.umich.edu. Reference position #59505. Applicants are encouraged to apply no later than Nov.1, 2011.
