*** apologies for cross postings ***

The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) is recruiting highly qualified Post-Docs or more senior Research Scientists in the search fields Migration | Population Dynamics | Computational Demography to join the Lab of Migration and Mobility and/or the Lab of Population Dynamics and Sustainable Well-Being, within the Department of Digital and Computational Demography, headed by MPIDR Director Emilio Zagheni. 

Digital and computational demography is a growing interdisciplinary field that tackles fundamental questions across all domains of population research by combining the methods and perspectives of computational sciences, social and behavioral sciences, and statistics. The field has emerged in parallel with rapid technological improvements in computing, the spread of Internet and mobile technologies, and the increased digitalization of data and of people’s lives. Our group brings together methodologists (from areas like statistics, computer science or formal demography) with population scientists in order to foster cross-pollination of ideas, to advance methods and theories of demographic research, and to address pressing scientific and societal questions.

Candidates who can enrich, complement or expand projects in Research Areas of the Lab of Migration and Mobility or Research Areas of the Lab of Population Dynamics and Sustainable Well-Being would be particularly welcome. Across all profiles, ability and willingness to work in interdisciplinary teams in order to conduct cutting-edge research that advances our understanding of population processes is key.
