A postdoctoral position is available with Hal Caswell at the University
of Amsterdam. The position is part of the research program /The Formal
Demography of Kinship and Family (FORMKIN), /which is funded by a
European Research Council Advanced Grant to Prof Hal Caswell. The
overall goal of FORMKIN is to develop and apply a matrix analytic model
for kinship demography, which will compute the kinship network implied
by schedules of mortality and fertility. It will develop this theory at
the levels of the individual, the cohort, and the population. The models
will be applied to comparisons of countries, regions, socioeconomic
groups, and historical periods. This postdoctoral project will focus on
applications of the models to human demographic data, from as wide an
array of sources as possible (including, but not limited to, databases,
surveys, censuses, register data, and models), to explore both familiar
questions, and develop new ones, in family demography. You will be
responsible for identifying sources of data, developing substantive
research questions, and carrying out analyses.
