Postdoctoral Researcher: In collaboration with Tom Mueller (KUMC), I am recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in Population/Environmental Demography. This position will synthesize data from public health and hydrologic databases to build an understanding of how drinking water source (groundwater vs. surface water) and water quality impact public health outcomes, with a specific focus on understanding how domestic groundwater well quality impacts rural health outcomes in Kansas. More application details can be found here. Application review begins on Sept. 22 and the position will remain open until filled. Please reach out to me if you are interested and have questions!
I am always open to talking with those who are interested in writing fellowships or grants together (e.g. NSF Earth Science Research (EAR) postdoc fellowship). If you are interested in working on a fellowship application together, please email me with your CV and information about the project you are interested in developing together.
