<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Merriweather Sans";color:#00112B">The digital and computing revolution has opened up new research opportunities. These are linked to:<br>
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Merriweather Sans"">(i) </span></strong>the availability of unprecedented amounts of data (e.g., internet and social media data, bibliometric data, crowd-sourced data, geo-spatial and remotely sensed data) to complement existing
sources when addressing longstanding population questions;<br>
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Merriweather Sans"">(ii) </span></strong>new forms of data collection and survey experiments enabled by digital technologies;<br>
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Merriweather Sans"">(iii)</span></strong> the combination of computationally-intensive methods such as social simulation and machine learning approaches with new statistical techniques.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Merriweather Sans";color:#00112B">New methods are required to use and integrate new forms of data with those derived from traditional sources, such as administrative records, censuses and surveys, in order to advance
our understanding of demographic processes such as migration/mobility, health dynamics and fertility. We invite highly-motivated and qualified candidates to work with an international team on developing cutting-edge novel statistical, computational or simulation
methods to study population dynamics and demographic behaviours.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Merriweather Sans";color:#00112B">The MPIDR is an equal opportunities employer. Our work atmosphere includes respectful treatment of each other, with gender, nationality, religion, disability, age, cultural origin,

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Merriweather Sans";color:#00112B">The Max Planck Society offers a broad range of measures to support the reconciliation of work and family. These are complemented by the MPIDR’s own initiatives. The Society has been
awarded the certificate “Work and Family” which is granted to institutions committed to establishing a family-friendly corporate culture by binding target agreements. The MPIDR collaborates with a network of local day-care centers that provides childcare places
for the children of Institute staff. The Max Planck Society has contracts with a private family service company that offers services such as arranging child care on short notice in various cities in Germany for parents who attend conferences, care services
for children of school age up to 14 years, and support for those caring for family members and relatives. The MPIDR also practices flexible working-time models, which include at least one home office day per week, and scheduling meetings only within core working
hours. To help accompanying spouses and partners find appropriate work at their new location, the MPIDR works in close cooperation with Dual-Career Partners in regional networks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

encourage<br>
applications from such qualified individuals. Furthermore, we seek to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourage women to apply.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
