Postdoctoral Associate in Injury Epidemiology

A postdoctoral position is available with Associate Professor Christopher Morrison in the Department of Chronic Disease Epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health. Dr. Morrison is a social epidemiologist who uses spatial analytic methods to identify strategies to prevent injuries and violence. This postdoctoral fellowship is supported by ongoing federally funded projects related to firearm violence, road traffic crash injuries, and alcohol-related injuries. The position is housed within a rapidly growing team at YSPH focused on injury and violence prevention-led by Dr. Morrison, Dr. Kerri Raissian, Dr. Magdalena Cerda (incoming Chair, Chronic Disease Epidemiology), and Dr. Megan Ranney (Dean, YSPH)-and will include opportunities of collaboration with other investigators within YSPH and across Yale University.

The Postdoctoral Associate will receive training and mentorship in grant writing, spatial epidemiologic methods, and injury prevention science. They will have structured opportunities to develop their proposal writing, methodological skills, and content expertise in the science of injury and violence prevention. The Postdoctoral Associate will be expected to lead and co-author manuscripts and applications for extramural funding, to continue their research currently in progress, and to develop new research ideas related to injury and violence prevention.
