We seek innovative social science researchers whose work focuses on the social and ecological determinants of reproductive health via field-based research using qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods. Candidates may work on topics including, but not limited to, reproductive outcomes, such as fertility or parental investment in children (e.g. breastfeeding, child mortality, education); reproductive life stages, such as puberty, pregnancy, or menopause; and/or the social and ecological determinants of reproduction, such as environmental risk, social support, inequality, healthcare access, or communicable disease. Penn State Anthropology prides itself on its integrative research and is interested in hiring a scholar whose work is interdisciplinary and/or integrates across anthropology’s subfields. We welcome candidates with interdisciplinary interests or training in fields including, but not limited to, demography, human biology, epidemiology, ecology, evolutionary medicine, and/or public health. Study population is open and could include nationally representative samples, underrepresented groups, Indigenous communities, or small-scale populations, and regional focus could be in the U.S. or international.
