Postdoctoral RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
CRCW is offering highly competitive Postdoctoral Research Associate or more senior research positions to individuals with documented interest in the study of families, neighborhoods, and/or a deeper understanding of America's most disadvantaged communities. Appointments are for one year with the possibility of renewal, pending satisfactory performance, with negotiable starting dates for the next academic year.
QUALIFICATIONS: Postdocs are expected to have outstanding potential and be self-motivated, goal-oriented and capable of successfully communicating ideas to diverse audiences. They must also be able to build on existing strengths, bridge different fields, and be motivated to work with faculty on complex projects. This position will support independent and collaborative research on one or more of the above topics. Preference will be given to candidates that have obtained the Ph.D. within the last two years. Postdocs will participate in all of the Center's activities, including student-faculty seminars, workshops, and public lectures. They will be expected to work on at least three projects each academic year of their tenure: one with the CRCW's director, one with data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, and an independent research project (often a dissertation-related publication).
