Postdoc/Research Scientist in the Reproductive Ageing Research Group

[mpidr....@gmail.com]

The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) is seeking to appoint a full-time post-doctoral researcher or statistical analyst to join the Max Planck Research Group Reproductive Ageing led by Susie Lee.

The Group studies reproductive ageing – an age-related change in reproductive function – in social contexts, with a goal to better understand the causes and consequences of reproductive ageing from a demographic perspective. Due to its implications for fertility and health, reproductive ageing is integral to population processes such as late childbearing and post-reproductive lifespan. The Group will combine social theories such as demographic transition, life course approach, and social determinants of health, with the emerging biological theory linking reproductive ageing to the broader ageing process, to generate novel evidence for reproductive ageing. Various indicators of reproductive ageing, ranging from pubertal timing, infertility, menopause, to age at last birth, collected across different populations, will be analysed.
