Post-Doctoral Researcher in Migration and Health Inequalities
Apply for a post-doctoral researcher position at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, focusing on migration and health inequalities.
The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) is seeking a full-time post-doctoral researcher to join the ERC-funded Research Group on Migration and Health Inequalities. Led by Silvia Loi, this group brings together experts from Demography, Quantitative Sociology, and Social Epidemiology to address the critical question: Why do immigrants age in poorer health compared to non-immigrants?
- Quantify the gaps in healthy ageing trajectories between immigrants and non-immigrants by age, gender, socioeconomic status, and their interactions.
- Identify critical events and circumstances in immigrants’ lives that put them on a different healthy ageing trajectory from non-immigrants.
- Study the impact of family composition and family ties in mitigating health inequalities by migration background.
The successful candidate will have a PhD (or receive it soon) in Demography, Sociology, Social Epidemiology, or related fields, with a strong quantitative background. Skills in R or Stata are highly desirable, and experience with register data is an advantage.
Apply online via this survey by 28 February 2025. The position offers a 2-year contract with remuneration based on the German public sector salary structure (TVöD Bund).
