Social Science Postdoctoral Fellow (Environment and Development)

Social Science Postdoctoral Fellow (Environment and Development)

The Institute for the Theory and Practice of International Relations and the Environmental Science and Policy (ENSP) Program at the College of William and Mary invite applicants for a two-year post doctoral position, sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The position is open to candidates from all the social sciences. The successful candidate will have expertise in either international development policy or environmental policy. Having research or teaching expertise/interests at the intersection of environment and development is preferred, but not necessary. The post doctoral fellow will be mentored (in research and teaching) by senior scholars at the Institute and ENSP, will have time to work on his/her own research, teach one class per semester (including some team teaching), mentor undergraduates in publication-quality research experiences, and contribute to ongoing research projects at the Institute. The successful candidate would have access to the Project Level Aid (PLAID) database of foreign aid projects and would be included in collaborative research projects using that data.

The College of William & Mary, the second oldest university in the United States, is one of the nation's most selective institutions. It enrolls approximately 5,000 undergraduates and 2,500 graduate and professional school students. Compensation includes salary ($43,000-$50,000) a research budget, travel budget, and computer. Fellowship period begins in summer 2009. Application materials include a letter of application, a current CV, a statement of research interests, copy of transcripts, at least three letters of recommendation, a statement summarizing teaching experience and philosophy, and samples of scholarly writing. Please send materials to Michael J. Tierney, Director, Institute for the Theory and Practice of International Relations, College of William & Mary, P.O. Box 8795, Williamsburg, VA 23187-8795. If you have questions, email to mjtier@wm.edu. Review will begin immediately, and will continue until the position is filled. The College of William & Mary is an EEO/AA employer.

Complex Systems Science Positions - University of Michigan

See http://www.casos.cs.cmu.edu/naacsos/

Two or three new complex systems science positions are
available at the Post-doc or Assistant Research Scientist level.
The latter level allows a scientist to pursue their own grants at a salary considerably above NIH post-doc levels and applies to candidates who have demonstrated their capacity for independent research. The work involved must relate different modeling approaches at multiple levels concerned with the infection transmission systems of influenza, norovirus, and Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). We are developing models capturing the transit of these organisms from one person to another within diverse venue contexts. We then relate these up to social simulations of transmission across broad populations and down to within host models of immune effects on the risk that infection takes off given different patterns of timing and route of arrival of pathogens to host tissues. The use of environmental agent level data and nucleotide sequence data to inform Public Health decisions is a long term focus of this program. Computer science and/or social and biological system simulation expertise are desirable for these positions.
These positions will be in the Department of Epidemiology with a link to the Center for the Study of Complex Systems at the University of Michigan.

Please contact both Jim Koopman jkoopman@umich.edu and Joe Eisenberg :jnse@umich.edu about these positions.
