Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Department of Population Health Science and Policy at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist with interest in health economics, health services research, and health policy, especially Medicaid policy. 

The fellow will join the Postpartum Outcomes and Extension of Medicaid (POEM for Equity) team on a NIH funded causal inference study about the impact of post-pandemic policy changes in postpartum Medicaid coverage policy and racial and ethnic equity therein as well as the Center for Child Health Services Research Team on a range of NIH funded studies focused on provider and payer drivers and mediators of health disparities for children with chronic diseases. 

The ideal candidate will have had some experience working with health administrative/insurance claims data and other large datasets. Prior experience with the Department of Health or other training with large data will be viewed favorably. While the position requires technical skills, we are also looking for a person passionate about improving quality, equity and value of care for women and children, and in growing as a member of our team.
