About this position
The Office of Population Research at Princeton University is seeking multiple postdoctoral research associates for a cohort-based program in demographic sciences, with appointments made through the Department of Sociology. The positions are centered on demography and population studies and are designed for early-career scholars who want to pursue independent research while also contributing to collaborative faculty projects.
Research at OPR spans biodemography, family demography, fertility and reproduction, migration, health and mortality, inequality, aging, education, and population dynamics across the life course. Postdoctoral researchers will join a large interdisciplinary environment with faculty, graduate students, and visiting scholars, and will have opportunities to work across departments and research centers at Princeton.
The program emphasizes close mentorship and research collaboration. Each postdoc will be matched with teams of two or more OPR faculty mentors and will develop a shared work plan during the first month of the appointment. The role includes collaborative research activities such as data analysis, manuscript development, and grant proposal preparation, alongside an active independent research agenda.
Postdoctoral researchers will be integrated into OPR’s intellectual community through seminars, workshops, working groups, colloquia, and professional development activities. The position is in-person on campus at Princeton University, with expectations for regular residence at OPR to support day-to-day collaboration and engagement.
The appointment may also include teaching assistant responsibilities and, when teaching, the rank of Lecturer. The advert presents this as a research-intensive postdoctoral opportunity within a highly collaborative demographic sciences community at Princeton.
Funding details
Competitive salary, full benefits, and research support; one-year appointment renewable for a second year based on funding and performance.
What's required
Applicants must expect to have completed a Ph.D. by the start date in demography or a closely related field such as sociology, economics, public policy, epidemiology, environmental sciences, genomics, or evolution. Scholars with any substantive or methodological focus within demography are encouraged to apply.
How to apply
Submit the application through Interfolio at the posting URL. Include a CV, a research statement describing current and future projects and alignment with OPR faculty research, one or two representative publications or working papers, and three confidential letters of recommendation.
