Postdoctoral Researcher
About the role
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. The group studies how medical progress changes disease experience, population ageing, and resilience, focusing on three broad themes: Disease Presence and Disease Impact, Diffusion of Medical Progress in Populations, and Population Resilience and Vulnerability. Postdoctoral researchers are expected to contribute to the group’s shared agenda while developing independent research lines within medical demography, with work typically split between group‑related projects, individual‑interest projects, and service activities such as (co‑)supervision of PhD students, peer review, workshop organisation, and occasional teaching.
