Researchers wanted for a project on children’s living conditions

The Institute for Futures Studies (IF), Stockholm, is appointing one or two researchers (sociologist/social scientist) to the projects:

YOUNG: Children’s living conditions in a changing society: Socioeconomic and ethnic inequality.
YOUNGWORK: Early labour market outcomes of young adults

YOUNG studies social and ethnic inequalities among young people in present-day society, including intergenerational processes, integration, and segregation mechanisms, and is funded by a grant from Forte (Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life, and Welfare). It covers five major themes: educational inequality, child poverty, school and wellbeing, ethnic integration, and family structure.

YOUNGWORK is an offshoot of YOUNG, following respondents in YOUNG beyond compulsory schooling longitudinally in order to study how labour market trajectories unfold during early adulthood, and how labour market outcomes relate to individual, family, or school-level factors.

Some portion of the working time may be allocated to the Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI), Stockholm University, depending on the profile of the successful candidate.

Eleven researchers at IF and SOFI are currently engaged in the two projects, and much of the research involves international collaboration.
IF, located in the heart of Stockholm city, hosts several related large-scale research projects, employing and collaborating with internationally renowned scholars within sociology and related disciplines (www.iffs.se/en).

We seek an outstanding quantitative social scientist whose research interests and qualifications fall into one or more of the projects’

We offer a stimulating research environment, extraordinary data materials (including micro-level population register data and the CILS4EU longitudinal study: http://www.cils4.eu), and competitive salaries.

The position will be appointed for one to three years, depending on the number of outstanding candidates and their research interests. Full time appointment is preferred, but candidates preferring part time employment will also be considered. The position can be taken up immediately, and should preferably commence at latest by September 2018.
