Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University (NYU Wagner) invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral research fellowship in applied policy research to begin in Spring 2016. This fellowship is associated with Wagner’s Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-funded Policies for Action Research hub. The fellow will have an opportunity to conduct independent research using our New York State Medicaid database, which will be linked to data on housing policy and transportation policy variables, and may also be linked to other sources of data. Please see http://www.policiesforaction.org/node/41 for a description of our existing projects. The fellow will have access to the Hub’s dedicated statistical and research staff for data analysis and linkage and will work with the Hub’s multidisciplinary research team. The fellow will also teach one course in introductory statistical methods (or another topic to be mutually agreed upon) per year.

Applicants must expect to have earned a Ph.D. in economics, public policy, sociology, public health, political science, or a related applied quantitative field by September 1, 2016.

NYU is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer and is strongly committed to diversity within its community.
