The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research seeks
a path-breaking recent Ph.D. eager to develop a highly innovative
at a frontier of mathematical, biological, historical, social,
economic or qualitative demography.
The successful candidate will be given ample
resources to establish and direct an
independent research program. For this purpose, he or she will be guaranteed
funding to recruit and lead a team of
researchers, for operating expenses, scientific
collaborators, and technical and secretarial support.
The successful candidate will start a five-year
contract (with the possibility of a
prolongation after positive evaluation) between October and December 2014. The
payment corresponds to the W2 level on the German
university scale, equivalent to
an Assistant or Associate Professor.
Applicants should have completed a doctoral
degree in the past decade. They should
have an outstanding record or show exceptional promise as demographic
scholars.
The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more handicapped individuals
and to increasing the share of women in areas where they are under-represented,
and therefore expressly encourages applications
from such qualified individuals.
The applicant should submit a three to five page
description of a research program,
along with a work plan, a complete CV, and three personal references.
Please send applications by July 25, 2014 to
[email protected].
