"The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) is seeking to appoint a full-time postdoctoral researcher to join the Max Planck Research Group on Medical Demography led by Marcus Ebeling. ... We address key questions such as how medical advances shape population health over the life course, and how they influence population resilience and vulnerability. We collaborate closely with international research groups in the fields of epidemiology, medicine, and demography.

"Applications are invited from candidates who have, or will soon obtain, a PhD in demography, sociology, epidemiology, medicine, health economics, biostatistics, public health, or a related field. ... We are committed to providing an open, collaborative, and supportive research environment and welcome curious, critical, and motivated researchers who wish to contribute to an emerging interdisciplinary field. German citizenship or residence is not a prerequisite for applying. Our international office will assist successful applicants through the process of obtaining a work visa, if needed."

The researcher is expected to be in residence at the MPIDR, which is based near the Baltic Sea in Rostock, Germany.

In order to receive full consideration, applications should be submitted by March 22, 2026. Interviews are tentatively scheduled for early April 2026 (after Easter). The starting date is flexible, but preferably no later than fall 2026.
