THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO: POSTDOCTORAL TRAINING IN DEMOGRAPHY AND ECONOMICS OF AGING
With support from the NIA, the University of Chicago offers one postdoctoral fellowship through its Center on the Demography and Economics of Aging for the 2008-2009 academic year. The interdisciplinary nature of research and training at the University of Chicago is one of its distinctive marks and one of its strengths.
The goal of these postdoctoral fellowships is to train skilled, engaged, committed new practitioners and new scholars who will make use of and contribute to the fields of demography and economics of aging by engaging in basic and applied research and policy making and analysis.
These NIA fellowships carry a stipend, health insurance, computing support and travel support, and are renewable with acceptable progress. NORC at the University of Chicago also provides opportunities to supplement the stipend.
Candidates must be interested in demography or the economics of aging and must have completed their Ph.D. in 2008. Fellowships are restricted to U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
Applicants should submit a letter of interest, a statement outlining their research agenda, two letters of recommendation, and a sample of written work or a recent publication. Previous research in demography or the economics of aging is not necessary; however, a future commitment is.
