Postdoctoral Position in Spatial Epidemiology
We are inviting applications for a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in spatial epidemiology to work on a project examining the influences of physical and social landscapes on obesity in rural communities. This research is supported by the USDA National Research Initiative Competitive Grants Program, and the position is funded for three years. The position will be located in the Geographic Information Science Center of Excellence at South Dakota State University, and will also involve collaboration with the E.A. Martin Program in Human
Nutrition. The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for developing a national database of rural environments, analyzing environmental influences on obesity, and disseminating results via conference presentations and published articles.
Required Qualifications: A Ph.D. in epidemiology, geography, biostatistics, or a related field is required. Candidates must be able to take a lead role in conducting statistical analyses of geospatial datasets. Experience using GIS software to manage and process large geographic databases is also essential.
Desired Qualifications: Preference will be given to applicants who have experience in the application of spatial statistics to analyze public health data, knowledge of multivariate statistical techniques, and a strong interest in applying geospatial analysis methods to study interactions between humans and their environment.
