<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Stanford University and the RAND Corporation are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join a National Institutes of Health-funded project on the health impacts of
natural hazard-induced disasters globally across low- and middle-income countries. The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will join an interdisciplinary team of physician researchers, epidemiologists, environmental scientists, and economists focused on environmental
and climatic drivers of population health in low- and middle-income countries across the world. Our group studies and measures major challenges to development (especially health improvements) among vulnerable populations using novel data sources, empirical
observations, geospatial analyses, and causal inference approaches. The position is geared for a recent PhD graduate with interest in collaborating across disciplines and expertise in natural hazard modeling (especially cyclones and/or floods) and spatial
data analysis. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">The position will be based at Stanford University. The fellowship has two primary goals: to advance research program on the health impacts of natural hazards, and to develop the
career and interests of the Fellow. The Fellow will work alongside the faculty and other research staff, at Stanford (School of Medicine and Stanford Earth) and at RAND (RAND Social and Economic Wellbeing). Developing the research program will entail supporting
the team with modeling of relevant natural hazards (especially hurricanes and floods), compiling and analyzing geospatial datasets on health and hazards, and leading the drafting of manuscripts. In addition, the fellow will have opportunities to partner and
collaborate with faculty and programs across the University.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Appointment Details<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">The fellowship is a one-year appointment, with the option to extend. Start date is flexible, but no later than December, 2022. Funding includes a living stipend plus certain medical,
dental, vision, and life insurance coverage through Stanford's Postdoctoral Scholars program. Postdoctoral Research Fellows receive stipends per Stanford funding rates guidelines, based on research experience. The balance of in-person and remote work can be
negotiated with the faculty mentors up front.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will have completed a Ph.D. with substantial emphasis on natural hazards. We welcome applicants from environmental science, climatology, geography,
or related fields. Applicants should have a range of quantitative skills including graduate-level knowledge of spatial data analysis, data management, and statistics or econometrics. Advanced knowledge of R’s or Python’s geospatial capabilities will be assessed
favorably.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
