@uncpopcenter.bsky.social is hiring a postdoc for our "From Biological to Social Processes" T32! Applications due Nov 20, 2026, preferred start date Jan 2027. Learn more about our postdoc training program: www.cpc.unc.edu/training/bio... Apply here: unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/325...
The Carolina Population Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill invites applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar position with the NICHD-funded T32 training program, ‘From Biological to Social Processes: Interdisciplinary Training in Life Course Research’. This program aims to promote and support interdisciplinary training of PhD students and postdoctoral scholars from both the social sciences and biological/health sciences.

The goal of this program is to train scientists to move across disciplinary boundaries and employ creative and integrative approaches to understanding the complex factors that influence health and health disparities across the life course. Trainees will have the opportunity to receive interdisciplinary mentorship and training in a wide array of methods and content areas, ranging from social inequalities to biological processes. Trainees will identify a co-preceptor team comprised of a mentor from their home discipline and another representing their new interdisciplinary interest area from among the current training faculty.

The initial term of appointment is one year, with a preferred start date in January 2027 (negotiable). Reappointment for a second year is possible with continued funding.

Interested applicants must apply through the UNC HR Link and submit the supplemental application package linked in the posting. Application materials are due by November 20th, 2026. 

Information about the postdoctoral training program and training faculty can be found on our website. Questions can be directed to the Training Program Manager, Margaret Swingler, at margaret.swingler@unc.edu.
