The Population Health Initiative has an outstanding opportunity for a Temporary Research Scientist to join our team. This position is full-time and anticipated to be 11 months in duration. The Research Scientist will be a core member of a mixed-methods study to compare resilient immunization programs in the United States and Canada to reduce racial gaps in vaccination levels. Key activities include measuring and reviewing changes in vaccine equity in Canada over time, identifying which public health interventions or public policies have most effectively improved immunization equity, and comparing findings with a recently completed study of U.S. immunization programs. The Population Health Initiative engages and galvanizes stakeholders from across the UW, the region, and the globe toward achieving the vision of creating a world where all people can live healthier and more fulfilling lives.
