Data sources for our work in this area are large-scale electronic health record data, medical claims data, mortality registries, and epidemiological cohort studies. The researcher will be expected to publish in high-impact general science and clinical journals.
We are looking for someone to start as soon as possible but there is no specific deadline for the application – we hire on an ongoing basis.
Being fully remote is possible for this position. We also partner with Heidelberg University for candidates interested in being based in Germany.
This is a 2-year position with strong possibility of renewal. We also offer attractive opportunities for those interested in a longer-term career in academia that is not on a faculty tenure track.
Required Qualifications:
• Doctoral degree with quantitative training (ideally in econometrics) or relevant research experience.
• Strong coding skills in R, Stata, or other statistical software package.
