Overview
The Tulane University Department of Social, Behavioral, & Population Sciences; Epidemiology, and the Mary Amelia Center for Women’s Health Equity Research invite applications for a postdoctoral research fellow position. The postdoctoral fellow will work on a newly funded National Institute of Health R01 project examining the influence of state-level economic security policies on maternal mental health.

The initial appointment is for one year with the possibility of extension.
Strong candidates will have experience working with large national population health datasets (e.g., PRAMS and NHIS) and conducting econometric analyses, policy evaluation and quasi-experimental designs; experience conducting legal research to identify, collect, catalog, and code policies; experience in maternal and child health related research; demonstrated organizational skills and strong attention to detail; and demonstrated ability to work with others as part of a large collaborative and multi-disciplinary team. Experience cleaning and analyzing large-scale and survey data in Stata is preferred.
