Post-Doctoral Researcher | Research Group Migration and Health Inequalities
The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) is seeking to appoint a full-time post-doctoral researcher to join the ERC-funded Research Group on Migration and Health Inequalities<https://www.demogr.mpg.de/en/research_6120/independent_research_groups_11668/migration_and_health_inequalities_12856/>. The group, led by Silvia Loi<https://www.demogr.mpg.de/en/about_us_6113/staff_directory_1899/silvia_loi_2870>, brings together experts from Demography, Quantitative Sociology, and Social Epidemiology to address the pressing scientific and societal question: Why do immigrants age in poorer health compared to non-immigrants? The research group agenda builds up on these three research areas: 1. quantify the gaps in healthy ageing trajectories between immigrants and non-immigrants by age, gender, socioeconomic status, and their interactions; 2. identify the critical events and circumstances in immigrants' lives that put them on a different healthy ageing trajectory from non-immigrants; 3. study the impact of family composition and family ties in mitigating health inequalities by migration background. We are seeking a creative, self-driven, collaborative scholar with a strong quantitative background that can contribute to advancing one or more the three research areas of the group. The selected candidate will be a member of the Research Group on Migration and Health Inequalities<https://www.demogr.mpg.de/en/research_6120/independent_research_groups_11668/migration_and_health_inequalities_12856/>, and will have the opportunity to collaborate with other units, such as the Max Planck - University of Helsinki Center for Social Inequalities in Population Health (MaxHel)<https://www.demogr.mpg.de/en/research_6120/social_demography_myrskylae_11664/maxhel_center_12360/>.
