Postdoc Positions
Postdoc appointments are held by individuals who are continuing training after receipt of the doctorate. There are two types of postdoc appointments at UW–Madison: Service appointments with the title Research Associate, and Non-Service appointments with the title Postdoctoral Fellow or Postdoctoral Trainee. The distinction between service and non-service appointments is outlined in the Non-Service Appointments policy.
Research Intern Positions
A Research Intern is an employee who typically is continuing training after receipt of a bachelor’s or master’s degree, rather than a doctorate.

| Research Associate (Postdoc) | Generational Overlap – Changing Family Demography, Shared Lifetimes, and Inequality | Social Science Research Services | Marcy Carlson | 03/02/2026 | The University of Wisconsin–Madison invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join an NIH-funded research project examining generational overlap, kinship networks, and the intergenerational transmission of inequality in the United States and Denmark. This project investigates how changing patterns of fertility, mortality, and educational expansion reshape the shared lifetimes of grandparents, parents, and grandchildren, and how these demographic changes influence family resources, intergenerational support, and health and well-being. The postdoc will join a collaborative team of senior investigators across multiple institutions who are leaders in family demography, population processes, and inequality research. The appointment is for one year, with the possibility of renewal, beginning as soon as March 1, 2026. ________________________________________ Project Overview Kinship networks structure care, resource sharing, and inequality across generations. Yet we know surprisingly little about how long grandparents, parents, and grandchildren share time together, how this has changed across cohorts, or how it varies across social groups and policy contexts. This project provides one of the first large-scale, comparative analyses of three-generation overlap in two countries with distinct demographic and welfare-state histories: the United States and Denmark. The study uses harmonized longitudinal survey and administrative data, including: • Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) • Danish population registers • Add Health Parent Study • Survey of Health, Retirement and Aging in Europe (SHARE) The research examines: • Cohort change in generational overlap using age-period-cohort approaches • The role of educational expansion and intergenerational mobility in shaping kin availability • Social class gradients in grandparents’ life course positions and intergenerational exchanges • Links between generational overlap, care, resources, and health outcomes |
The postdoctoral researcher will: • Conduct quantitative analyses of multigenerational longitudinal data • Contribute to innovative measurement of generational overlap across cohorts • Apply demographic and causal inference approaches to study inequality and family processes • Collaborate on manuscript preparation for peer-reviewed journals • Participate in grant-related research dissemination and conference presentations • Help mentor graduate research assistants • Develop independent research projects aligned with the study’s themes This position provides substantial opportunity for both collaborative and independent scholarship using unique, large-scale cross-national data and is designed to support the postdoc’s transition to an independent research career. |
Applicants should submit the following materials: 1. Cover letter describing research interests and fit with the project 2. Curriculum vitae 3. Writing sample 4. Names and contact information for three references Applications should be submitted via email to carlson@ssc.wisc.edu.
