<p class="MsoNormal">From the job announcement:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“This position involves analyzing, and
interpreting analyses
of health data, including selecting data samples from statewide
health data for
California, and analyzing collected information with statistical
methods that
include standard regression, propensity-score based methods, and
substitution
estimation methods. This position also involves developing
simulations in the
programming language R that operationalize a range of research
study design and
analysis options, and assess the relative performance (in terms of
bias and
variance) of the design and analysis combinations. Simulations
will be
developed into an online simulation system. This position will
also involve
preparation of analysis results for publications, presentations,
and proposals.”</p>

I am looking for someone who will be a true
collaborator on
the science of this research project – this collaboration will
involve work
with me as well as with co-Investigators Mark van der Laan, an
internationally
renowned innovator and leader in the field of causal inference,
and Will Dow,
who has extensive experience and expertise in studying policy
effects on health.
I also hope to find someone who is interested in getting involved
with continuing
to build a research program moving forward. Ideally I am looking
for someone
with a PhD, but I am open to someone with a Masters if s/he has
substantial
relevant experience. Although I want to hire ASAP, I am open to
someone who
will be finishing a degree this Spring 2014. The Bay Area is a
wonderful place
to live, and UC Berkeley provides generous benefits. Please
distribute this
information to any high quality candidates you think might be
interested or any
relevant list serves at your institution.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Leora Lawton PhD<br>Executive Director<br>Berkeley Population Center<br>350K Barrows Hall<br>(of) 510-643-1270<br>(m) 510-928-7572<br><a href="http://www.popcenter.berkeley.edu" target="_blank">www.popcenter.berkeley.edu</a><br>
