Job Description

The Division of Primary Care and Population Health at Stanford University is seeking a research scholar with strong quantitative skills to join our collaborative and dynamic team. The candidate will work under the guidance of Dr. Pascal Geldsetzer and other researchers at Stanford University. The group works on a wide variety of research, with foci being the health effects of sodium intake, medication effectiveness, health services research, and population health issues more generally. Key data sources for our projects are large population-based cohort studies, household survey data (particularly the Demographic and Health Surveys), and electronic health record data. The group is also working on randomized intervention studies in low- and middle-income country settings and the re-analysis of clinical trial data. The research scholar will take a leadership role in Pascal Geldsetzer’s research group, which is a “dry lab” focused on quantitative analyses of existing, and often publicly accessible, datasets.

We are open to discussing options for part-time work or working remotely.

Duties include:

  • Carrying out and supervising data analyses led by graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
  • Writing manuscripts for publication in scientific journals.
  • Mentoring and advising junior researchers.
  • Assisting with, and leading the writing of, grant applications for research funding.
  • Communicating with research funders and project administrative staff.

The job duties listed are typical examples of work performed by positions in this job classification and are not designed to contain or be interpreted as a comprehensive inventory of all duties, tasks, and responsibilities. Specific duties and responsibilities may vary depending on department or program needs without changing the general nature and scope of the job or level of responsibility. Employees may also perform other duties as assigned.


EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE:

  • Doctoral degree with quantitative training or research experience.
  • Training and experience in quasi-experimental techniques is a plus.
  • A background in health-related research is a plus but not required.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES:

  • Strong coding skills in R, Stata, or other statistical software package.
  • Strong writing and analytical skills.
  • Ability to prioritize workload.
