Johns Hopkins - Postdoctoral Fellowship in Transitions into the Labor Force, Marriage and Biological Fatherhood
Date Posted: April 15, 2009
Announcing Unit: Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Announcement Text:
The Center for Adolescent Health and the Department of Population, Family, and Reproductive Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health are pleased to announce our search for a postdoctoral fellow for a two-year appointment beginning June 1, 2008, a second year may be possible, contingent on funding. This fellowship specifically involves analysis of the interrelationships among work, marriage, and fatherhood using Latent Class Analysis and Latent Transition Analysis with large, nationally representative longitudinal surveys including the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1979 Cohort (NLSY79) and the National Survey of Adolescent Males (NSAM).This is an excellent opportunity for a PhD scholar interested in men's lives from adolescence into middle adulthood. Mentoring will be provided by a team of faculty members with expertise in adolescence, sexual risk-taking behaviors, STDs, romantic relationships, fathering, and the transition to adulthood. The fellow will join the research team and collaborate on manuscripts. In conjunction with the team, the fellow will develop his/her independent research on topics of interest targeted in the NSAM data. These data are rich in terms of men's sexual behaviors, sexually transmitted disease histories, fathering practices, romantic relationships, illicit drug use, and various attitudes collected first when men were aged 15 to 19. Data from the most recent fourth wave will extend our understanding these topics for men ages 32 to 38.
This postdoctoral fellowship is a 24-month commitment with a stipend at NIH levels commensurate with experience. Health benefits will be provided. Applicants must have completed a PhD in family studies, sociology, demography, developmental psychology, or other social science discipline. Candidates with documented interest in fathering, men's sexual and reproductive health, family formation, and family process are strongly encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to applicants with prior experience working with longitudinal data, previous work on quantitative research projects, SAS and STATA programming skills, and latent variable and multivariate data analytic skills.
