"The Cornell Population Center (CPC) invites applicants for the Frank H.T. Rhodes Postdoctoral Fellowship. This position will be appointed for a one-year term from August 16, 2027, through August 15, 2028, but may be extended for a second year, dependent on satisfactory performance and available funding. Selection is based on scholarly potential in the broad substantive field of demography, ability to work in multi-disciplinary settings, and alignment of research interests with CPC faculty affiliates who can serve as mentors. Preference will be given to fellows with research interests in areas broadly related to the CPC’s four main areas: families & children; health behaviors & disparities; poverty, gender, & inequality; and immigration & diversity. We especially encourage applications from candidates whose research has significance for those countries on which the fellowship’s funder focuses – the United States, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Vietnam, South Africa, and Bermuda.

"Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. in demography, economics, sociology, or another related social science discipline by August 16, 2027."

For full consideration, please apply by December 1, 2026.
