The Max Planck Research Group Gender Gaps in Health and Survival: Statistical Analyst

The Max Planck Research Group Gender Gaps in Health and Survival at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) is accepting applications for a highly qualified Statistical Analyst.

 

Men die, women suffer: that is what is called the male – female health – survival paradox. The group intends to investigate how universal the male – female health – survival paradox is across different countries and which biological, demographic, and social factors drive the male – female health – survival paradox. The research interests of the group also embrace health trends in the old-aged populations, cohort differences in health at older ages and related topics.

 

Required qualifications: background in statistics, biostatistics, mathematics, or applied disciplines with strong quantitative skills and experience with longitudinal data analysis, survival analysis, multilevel models and experience in using statistical software (e.g. Stata, R).

Preferred qualifications: experience in analyzing individual-level data, working with large datasets, analyzing health related data, and experience in management of missing data.

 

Applications should include (in one pdf file):

• a detailed CV,
• full contact information (e-mail and mail addresses) of 3 references,
• letter of interest (maximum 2 pages)

 

Applications should be sent to the head of the research group, Anna Oksuzyan: appl-irg-gg@demogr.mpg.de. Please submit applications by May 31, to ensure consideration. Review of applications will continue until the position is filled. The first consideration will be given to the candidates who are able to start at an earlier point in time.

 

The position is initially for 2 years, with the possibility of extension. The appointment is based on the salary level 13 of the German TVöD system based on the qualifications of the candidate and in accordance with the rules of federal employees in Germany.

 

The Max Planck Society wishes to increase the share of women in areas where they are underrepresented, and strongly encourages women to apply. The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more handicapped individuals and especially encourages them to apply.
