This two-year fellowship will allow the post-doctoral fellow to sharpen their analytical skills and advance their research agendas in the fields of health policy and health economics through formal and informal training and extensive collaboration with distinguished researchers at Northwestern and George Washington Universities, and access to major healthcare datasets. The postdoctoral fellow will support (roughly 50% time) an NIH-funded study of the joint impact of malpractice risk and financial incentives on cardiac testing. S/he will oversee data collection, data management, data analysis, report writing, and manuscript preparation, and will have an opportunity to participate as a coauthor on research articles. The fellow will have an opportunity to participate in other future funded projects (25% time), and will have 25% unallocated time to pursue separate projects, if desired. Scholars from relevant disciplines including economics, public policy, health policy, statistics, medicine, and health services research are invited to apply. Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline by summer 2014, and must have proficiency with SAS, Stata, or both. Candidates must be located in Washington, DC or Chicago, IL. The fellowship provides a competitive stipend and benefits.

Interested applicants should send CV and cover letter to zaynah_abid@gwu.edu
