Description

We are inviting applications for a Post-Doctoral Associate in the Division of Social Science at NYU Abu Dhabi from those who have or will soon receive a PhD in sociology, demography, economics, or a related social science. The appointment will begin September 1, 2024, subject to final budget approval. The position is for 3 years. All requirements for the PhD must be completed to start the position. The Post-Doctoral Associate will spend half time on independent research, and half on collaborative research with Professor Paula England, who will also serve as a mentor. The exact topics of collaborative research will be developed through discussion based on mutual interest. Topics could include gender inequalities, sexualities, and/or the social demography of cohabitation, marriage, and fertility; analyses might be on data sets from one or multiple nations. The competitive candidate will have excellent data analytic and statistical skills, experience with large data sets, a real desire to find the truth, and the ability to think and communicate clearly. The position does not require teaching, but it may be possible to get teaching experience for compensation. You would be part of a group of over 20 post-doctoral associates and 70 faculty in the Division of Social Science. The Division’s intellectual life is rich, with many disciplinary and interdisciplinary speakers and conferences which post-doctoral associates may attend.
