"Postdoctoral Fellow Positions in Health Services Research"

The Yale School of Public Health, Department of Health Policy and Management, is seeking two postdoctoral fellows for its program in Health Services Research. These positions are open to scholars from any discipline with substantive interests relating to health and/or healthcare policy research. Applicants should have a strong publication record and demonstrated potential for future contributions to the field.

Postdoctoral fellows will work on their own research under the guidance of program faculty and participate in departmental research seminars. Fellows are also encouraged to become involved in the many faculty-directed research projects to develop their skills. More than forty faculty members from the Yale School of Public Health, Yale School of Medicine, Yale School of Nursing, and Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences are affiliated with the program.

Fellows are expected to focus on developing their research skills and writing for publication. Those interested in careers with substantial teaching can explore the many offerings available at the Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning.

This program provides financial support (stipend and research-related funds) for fellows through a training grant provided by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). U.S. citizens, non-citizen nationals, and permanent residents are eligible for funding under this grant. Funding levels for stipends are based on prior experience, following guidelines set by AHRQ.
