FYI Postdocs at the Institute for Analytical Sociology in Norrköping The Institute for Analytical Sociology at Linköping University is hiring up to five highly qualified postdocs to be part of an ambitious interdisciplinary research program on modeling segregation processes. The program is directed by Peter Hedström and includes a group of researchers with a variety of disciplinary backgrounds [see http://www.liu.se/ias?l=en]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://www.liu.se/ias?l%3Den%255…>. In the research program, we use large-scale register data, selected field experiments, and the tools of analytical sociology and complexity science to better understand the processes through which schools, organizations, and neighborhoods become segregated. We seek outstanding social scientists whose research interests and qualifications resonate well with the core themes of the research program, and whose research agendas have a high potential to contribute to the development of the methodological and theoretical foundations of the social sciences. The successful candidates are expected to work independently and to collaborate with colleagues within the project. Experience in handling and analyzing large-scale micro-level data, experimental design, network analysis, and/or agent-based simulation modeling is a merit. We can offer a stimulating research environment, extraordinary data materials - including micro-level population register data for the years 1990 to 2012 - and competitive salaries. The position will initially be for two years, with a possible extension. The position entails no teaching or supervision obligations. Qualifications The position requires a doctorate or an equivalent degree. The doctorate shall have been obtained no longer than three years before the expiration date of the application. Equal opportunities Linköping University works actively to promote diversity and gender equality. Starting date September 1, 2014, or as soon thereafter as possible. Salary The salary level depends on qualification. A highly qualified applicant can expect a starting salary of 39,000 SEK a month (approximately 52,000 Euro or 71,000 USD per annum). Information For more information, please contact Peter Hedström (peter.hedstrom(a)liu.se<mailto:peter.hedstrom@liu.se>).

Richard is retiring July 1st and we in Comparative Human Development are seeking to hire a sociologist (junior rank, phd in hand). In an ideal world, I'd love to find a qualitatively oriented person but an excellent person who fit any of our target areas would be wonderful no matter the method. I'm attaching the ad here. It has not been formally approved yet and we're waiting for the final budget which should be out any day, but hopefully the ad will go live by July 1st.

If you know of anyone who should be added to the list, please let me know. It's important that I have a sense of who plans to search for academic positions (faculty/post-docs) because the various workshop coordinators are trying to line up speakers and they want to give everyone who will be giving job talks an opportunity to present their research as soon as possible this fall.
