The postdoc will join a research team with active NIH-funded projects developing novel tools for various problems, including mediation, transportability, longitudinal data, dynamic treatment regimes, etc. The postdoc is expected to increase her/his methodological knowledge of causal inference, and lead and co-author manuscript publications. S/he will perform data analyses, simulations, prepare manuscripts for submission to peer-reviewed journals, and deliver presentations at scientific meetings. Opportunities to develop and write funding proposals are also available. The position offers compensation commensurate with experience, excellent benefits package and funds for travel to professional conferences and meetings, and potential to extend the fellowship.
