<basus at stanford.edu>  To: William H. DOW <wdow at berkeley.edu>
<wdow at berkeley.edu>
An NIH-funded post-doctoral position in epidemiology and biostatistics is
available at Stanford University, with an anticipated start date as early
as October 2015. The position will be supervised by Dr. Sanjay Basu, with
additional mentorship from Drs. David Rehkopf and Mike Baiocchi. The
position will entail the following responsibilities: (1) learning and
applying novel statistical methods to understand the influence of key
'safety net' programs (such as food security, housing assistance, and
poverty relief initiatives) on long-term cardiovascular disease risk
factors (such as hypertension and type 2 diabetes) and associated
healthcare utilization and cost disparities; (2) authorship of manuscripts
to be submitted for peer-reviewed publication in the epidemiological
literature based on analysis of longitudinal cohort data to identify
relationships between safety net programs and health and healthcare cost
disparities; (3) assistance in enhancing public use datasets that catalogue
geographic variations in safety net programs and policies for study by the
larger research community; and (4) assistance in the integration of results
into microsimulation policy models and their deployment as open-source
analytic packages (in R or Julia). Appropriate candidates should have
completed a PhD by October 2015 related to epidemiology, statistics,
economics, or sociology; expertise in matching methods, instrumental
variables analysis and/or experience with common longitudinal cohort/panel
datasets (NLSY, PSID, MEPS) is a plus. Salary and benefits, including
conference travel and equipment funds, are highly competitive and in excess
of the NIH salary scale adjusted for cost of living. The position is
available for two years, with the possibility of renewal for a third year.
Post-doctoral scholars will receive dedicated mentorship and guidance for
transition to an independent academic research position, and will have the
opportunity to participate in seminar series, lectures and career
development programs. Interested candidates should send a single PDF file
including a cover letter, CV including contact information for references,
a writing sample (e.g., peer-reviewed publication), and a sample of code
(in R, Stata, Julia, MATLAB, C or Python) to Tamica Garner,
tdgarner at stanford.edu, with subject line “Basu postdoc app”.
