*Postdoctoral positions on a project funded by the Center for the
Assessment of the Public Health Impact of Tobacco Regulations part of the
NIH TCORS program (tobacco epidemiology/modeling/simulations/)*

Departments of Epidemiology and Health Management and Policy, School of
Public Health, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Applications are invited for two two-year postdoctoral research positions
to join the NIH-funded Center for the Assessment of the Public Health
Impact of Tobacco Regulations, with a multidisciplinary and
multi-institutional team of collaborators; Rafael Meza, David Mendez, Ken
Warner, Nancy Fleischer (University of Michigan), David Levy (Georgetown
University), Ted Holford (Yale University)). The postdoc will develop and
examine simulation models of tobacco use that explicitly consider multiple
tobacco-products and multiple disease outcomes. The interdisciplinary team
includes epidemiologists, economists, tobacco scientists, applied
mathematicians and statisticians. The project will conduct analyses of the
public health impact of tobacco regulations across a range of
tobacco-related conditions and policy outcomes. Desired areas of expertise
include:  dynamic and complex systems, parameter estimation, computer
programming (familiarity with, R, Python, C++, Matlab), statistical
analysis, econometrics and epidemiology modeling. Experience developing
mathematical/simulation models to address problems in public health,
epidemiology or health outcomes is a plus.

The University of Michigan offers a vibrant mathematical modeling and
complex systems community. Modeling expertise expands across departments
including Epidemiology, Health Management and Policy, Complex Systems,
Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Mathematics and Statistics. The School of
Public Health is renowned for its cutting-edge research on the applications
of mathematical modeling in epidemiology and public health.

Applicants should have a doctoral degree in Epidemiology, Health Economics,
Econometric, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Mathematics, Statistics,
Operations Research or related field.

Compensation (salary and benefits) will be offered according to University
of Michigan and NIH guidelines.  The position is available immediately but
starting date is negotiable.

To apply please submit CV, names of references, and inquiries to Dr Rafael
Meza at rmeza at umich.edu or through the UM careers website:
