Position Description The Department of Health Policy and Management has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral fellow in health policy and management. This position is for an exceptional, independent, and motivated postdoctoral fellow supervised by Dr. Michael Barnett. The candidate will pursue NIA-funded projects in US health care delivery in outpatient specialty care and nursing homes using comprehensive, state-of-the-art medical claims data from multiple sources.

This position provides an opportunity to conduct independent research on cutting edge questions in health policy, be first author on multiple manuscripts, and draft grant proposals.
