PhD Student | Research Group Migration and Health Inequalities

The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) is seeking to appoint a full-time PhD student to join the ERC-funded Research Group on Migration and Health Inequalities<https://www.demogr.mpg.de/en/research_6120/independent_research_groups_11668/migration_and_health_inequalities_12856/>. The group, led by Silvia Loi<https://www.demogr.mpg.de/en/about_us_6113/staff_directory_1899/silvia_loi_2870>, brings together experts from Demography, Quantitative Sociology, and Social Epidemiology to address the pressing scientific and societal question: Why do immigrants age in poorer health compared to non-immigrants?
The research group agenda builds up on these three research areas:

  1.  quantify the gaps in healthy ageing trajectories between immigrants and non-immigrants by age, gender, socioeconomic status, and their interactions;
  2.  identify the critical events and circumstances in immigrants' lives that put them on a different healthy ageing trajectory from non-immigrants;
  3.  study the impact of family composition and family ties in mitigating health inequalities by migration background.

We are seeking a qualified and highly motivated student with a quantitative background with interests at the intersection of migration, ageing and health, broadly defined. The successful candidate must have a Master's degree in Demography, Sociology, Social Epidemiology or related fields, and a strong quantitative background. Candidates with interests in topics surrounding migration, health and ageing in any setting and comparing across gender, socioeconomic class, or geographical location are welcome. Demonstrable skills in R or Stata are highly desirable.
