What are the responsibilities and job description for the Notre Dame Population Analytics Postdoctoral Fellowship position at University of Notre Dame?
The FFCWS@ND Postdoctoral Fellowship, under the leadership of Dr. Anna R. Haskins (Sociology), and with the support of Notre Dame Population Analytics, invites highly motivated applicants with strong quantitative skills and documented experience working with the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS) to apply. We seek enthusiastic researchers with broad interests in children and families, poverty, intergenerational mobility, or the transition to young adulthood. The position is open to scholars with backgrounds in the social sciences, formal demography, social work, education, statistics, or related fields. The fellowship will support both independent and collaborative research, and therefore, the candidate must be motivated to work with faculty on complex projects. Alongside Notre Dame faculty, candidates will leverage the FFCWS data to ask and answer critical poverty-related questions that drive policy change, generate real-world solutions, and advance knowledge.
Dr. Haskins will work with Notre Dame Population Analytics to identify primary faculty mentors and research projects. Candidates will contribute to the data analysis and co-authorship of research projects stemming from collaborations with paired faculty. The Fellow will also have the opportunity to develop their own research, engage with the larger FFCWS community, participate in workshops, and present at national conferences.
The following will be expected as part of the fellowship:
