People from across 20 disciplines are working within the Faculty. Along with the **disciplinary** approach a very ambitious interdisciplinary research culture has been developed.

The research group ‘Economic and Social Well-being’ of the Institute for Health and Behaviour, led by Prof. Conchita D’Ambrosio, is looking for one post-doctoral researcher to conduct cutting-edge multidisciplinary research on the individual life-course from a social-science perspective.

Our research focus is both theoretical and applied. We work to provide theoretically-sound measures of various phenomena - such as economic insecurity, multidimensional poverty, relative deprivation, resilience, and social exclusion - that are becoming increasingly common in our societies. We also explore the impacts of various life events on measures of well-being via the use of panel and birth-cohort data. We enrich the traditional approach followed in the Social Sciences with insights from Biology looking at variables related to DNA and DNA Methylation. We are interested, for example, in the well-being and behavioural consequences of economic insecurity, how economic resources change over the life-cycle, and how economic shocks may have epigenetic impacts on biological aging and the resulting health and well-being implications.

**Your Role...**:

- Develop quantitative research on measuring individual and social well-being
- Develop quantitative research on the analysis of the effects of socio-economic and demographic factors on an individual’s life-course
- Disseminate results through scientific publications, workshops and conferences
- Interact with the research-team members and colleagues, and participate in project meetings
- Provide research assistance and assistance in managing an editorial office
- Contribute to the preparation of research grant proposals

**What we expect from you**:

- Ph.D. in Economics, Applied Statistics, or a related discipline
- Experience in handling longitudinal and birth-cohort datasets
- Extensive experience in quantitative research (Stata, R, Python, etc.)
- Fluent in English (speaking and writing)

**Offer...**

**In Short...**:

- Contract Type: Fixed Term Contract 24 Month (renewable for a maximum of 5 years in total)
- Work Hours: Full Time 40.0 Hours per Week
- Location: Belval
- Job Reference: UOL05358

The yearly gross salary for every Postdoctoral Researcher at the UL is EUR 77167 (full time)

**How to apply...**:
Applications should be submitted online and include:

- A full CV
- A research summary with a list of publications (including those in preparation)
- A cover letter
- Contact details of two individuals who are willing to provide a letter of recommendation
- Copies of relevant academic transcripts will be requested at some point during the selection process

All correspondence should be in English.
