Open Postdoctoral position, faculty mentor Joshua Salomon

The Prevention Policy Modeling Lab is seeking multiple postdoctoral scholars to join our growing team working in infectious disease policy modeling.
We are recruiting for one or more postdoctoral scholars to work on CDC-funded projects that conduct analyses and modeling relating to the health impact, costs, and cost-effectiveness of infectious disease prevention and treatment strategies. The Prevention Policy Modeling Lab (PPML) is led by Dr. Joshua Salomon, Professor of Health Policy, and is a multi-institution research consortium, led by Stanford University and in alliance with Boston Medical Center, Boston University, Harvard University, University of Michigan, Yale University, Brown University, and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
The aim of PPML’s work is to inform health policy and guide public health decision-making at local, state, national, and international levels. A major focus for PPML is on evaluating the infectious disease treatment and prevention programs in the United States through health and economic modeling. PPML is dedicated to creating models that improve public health decision-making in five key areas: HIV, viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, and school/adolescent health. Recent work has expanded to projects focused on health equity, utilizing modeling to address social determinants of health and reduce racial/ethnic disparities.
PPML postdoctoral scholars will lead simulation modeling and decision analysis that informs guidelines, policies, and practices relating to infectious diseases. In addition, candidates will have the support to explore further research interests as new and exciting opportunities arise. Fellows will engage across partners in local and state health departments, the federal government, and academic institutions.
