Dr. Tim Bruckner seeks a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Wen School of Public Health at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), to work on two projects. The main project involves understanding structural, economic, and policy-level causes of racial disparities in stillbirth and live birth outcomes in the US. The secondary project will assist with quantifying the extent to which postponement of childbearing in Denmark affects health, educational, labor market, and other societal costs—both for parents and their children. The fellowship is a one‐year appointment with the possibility of one-to-two‐year renewal. This appointment is contingent upon receipt of the Ph.D. prior to the start date. The start date is negotiable but could begin as early as April 2025.
Compensation: Salary is commensurate with experience and qualifications. See UCI postdoc salary scale here: https://ap.uci.edu/compensation/salary-scales/

Basic qualifications:
• PhD in economics, epidemiology, sociology, or a related field
• Background in maternal and infant health
