Description

We are inviting applications for a post-doctoral associate in the Division of Social Science at NYU Abu Dhabi from those who have or will soon receive a PhD in one of the social sciences or a related discipline. The appointment will begin September 1, 2022, subject to final budget approval. Post-doctoral fellows will spend half their time on independent research, and half on collaborative research with Professors Kinga Makovi and Jemima A. Frimpong, who will also serve as mentors. The collaborative research will involve the development and testing of digital platforms and non-digital approaches that leverage network and decision-making theories in the broad area of health. Projects will focus on patient and provider engagement in the health care sector, with the goal of improving health care delivery and patient outcomes. The post holder should have some experience with primary data collection and quantitative data analysis skills. Some coding experience to support app development, while not required, is an advantage. The position does not require teaching, but it may be possible to get teaching experience for compensation. You would be part of a group of over 20 post-doctoral fellows and 70 faculty in the Division of Social Science.
