Postdoctoral Fellowship: Perinatal/Neonatal Health

We are seeking an individual for a postdoctoral fellowship in perinatal / neonatal health who has training and experience in epidemiology, public health, or a related field (e.g. PhD or MD with relevant research training). The primary mentor is Dr. Henry C. Lee, Professor of Pediatrics (Neonatology), and Chief Medical Officer of the California Perinatal Quality Care Collaborative (CPQCC). The CPQCC and its sister organization, the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative (CMQCC) have their data centers and leadership based at the division of neonatology at Stanford, and have active research programs in perinatal health. The emphasis of this fellowship will be on addressing health disparities in neonatal care and outcomes. The postdoctoral fellow will collaborate with epidemiologists, biostatisticians, and clinician-scientists, with opportunities for mentorship and collaborative research on related topics.

This fellowship is a one year appointment, with option to extend by mutual arrangement. Funding includes a living stipend and funds for some research expenses, plus certain medical, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage through Stanford's Postdoctoral Scholars program.

• For those who may have qualitative research background and goals, they will have relevant training and skills.
• Strong written and interpersonal communication skills
