Full Text of JOE Listing:

A position as Associate Professor is vacant at University of Southern Denmark (SDU), Odense, attached to CPOP - The SDU Center on Population Dynamics.

The background and interests of the successful candidate could be in Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Health Sciences or Humanities.

The selected candidate will work in an interdisciplinary research team and most of his/her research activity is expected to focus on interdisciplinary research and to be integrated in the development and teaching within interdisciplinary courses. Because much of this research will involve modeling and analyzing population dynamics and the application of statistical methods to large datasets, it would be desirable if candidates had co-authored interdisciplinary articles based on this kind of research, with emphasis on demographic and population related topics.

Candidates should hold a Ph.D., have experience as a postdoc, assistant professor or associate professor, and have published articles relevant to the study of population studies, especially population aging and survival dynamics, its patterns, its causes, its social, economic, health, cultural, artistic, and/or personal consequences or its implications for public policy.

Candidates should be interested in and ideally have published research on at least one of the major topics being addressed by researchers in CPOP. These major topics include:
• health, survival and quality of life among the oldest-old, including male-female differences and disparities among individuals and population groups;
• health, survival, quality of life, educational attainment and labor-force participation of people above age 50, including male-female differences and disparities among individuals;
• development of innovative demographic methods, especially related to the analysis of population aging, population change and health dynamics;
• age-patterns of health, survival and fertility for humans over time and in comparison to species across the tree of life, including male-female differences and disparities among individuals.
• use of population data and demographic methods to develop better strategies for protecting endangered species;
• forecasting health and survival especially for Denmark but also for other countries, including male-female differences and disparities among individuals, based on the development of powerful new methods of forecasting;
• analyzing the social, economic, health, cultural, artistic, and/or personal consequences of population change, and their policy implications.
