Position description
Dr. Tim Bruckner seeks a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Program in
Public Health at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), to
quantify the extent to which postponement of childbearing in
Denmark affects health, educational, labor market, and other
societal costs-both for parents and their children. The fellowship
is a one-year appointment with the possibility of one-to-two-year
renewal. This appointment is contingent upon receipt of the Ph.D.
prior to the start date. The start date is negotiable but could
begin as early as June 1, 2024.
Background: Over the last 40 years, age of first-time mothers in
Denmark has increased by more than 20%, from 24.8 years in 1981 to
29.8 years in 2021. The newly funded project (in cooperation with
the Rockwool Foundation) aims to understand the extent to which
postponement of childbearing affects birth outcomes, children's
health and educational outcomes, and parental labor force
participation. We will characterize changes over time (i.e., 1980
to 2018) in parents' delay of childbearing in Denmark and delineate
which demographic groups in particular account for these trends. We
will exploit the longitudinal nature of register data (available
from Statistics Denmark) to use sibling-control and maternal
fixed-effects methods to estimate biologically-based sequelae of
older age at childbearing (> 30 years) as well as social
"selection" into postponed childbearing. Lastly, we will focus on
women of non-western backgrounds and the special circumstances that
apply to this group.
Duties:
The Postdoctoral Fellow will also have other opportunities for
collaborative and independent research projects, as part of the
Bruckner Lab (). They will be expected to engage with the Project
Team at Rockwool Foundation, the Program in Public Health (UCI),
and and the Center for Population, Inequality, and Policy (UCI).
The Fellow is expected to take advantage of the many resources at
UCI (e.g., colloquia, workshops, and other events) to develop a
research career.
