[Jobs] postdoc at vanderbilt

[Leora Lawton]

Vanderbilt University recently approved us to hire a postdoc to work on
LGBT policy research, and this would certainly include LGBT health topics.
Here’s a short description:



The Vanderbilt LGBT Policy Lab seeks a postdoctoral scholar in LGBT Policy
Studies (broadly defined). The ideal candidate is an empirical social
scientist who has an interest in studying the causes and consequences of
LGBT‐related public policies (e.g., same‐sex marriage, non‐discrimination
laws, ‘bathroom bills’, religious freedom restoration acts, and others) on
a range of social, economic, political, health, education, and demographic
outcomes. Experience with programming in advanced statistical packages
(e.g., STATA, SAS, and/or R) and handling large datasets is required. A PhD
(or equivalent) in anthropology, demography, economics, education, health
services research, law/jurisprudence, LGBT studies, political science,
public health, public policy, sociology, or a related field is required.



Responsibilities include:

1. Carrying out an active research program focusing on LGBT policies and
populations.

2. Developing a course on LGBT policies and advocacy to be co‐taught with a
Vanderbilt faculty member in Spring 2019. [Note there are no teaching
requirements in AY 2017‐18 for this position.]

3. Coordinating a monthly colloquium series on LGBT policies and
populations.

4. Coordinating a national academic conference to be held at Vanderbilt in
Spring 2019.

5. Serving as a liaison to campus and community leaders on LGBT policy
topics.
