CSDE Welcomes Dr. Jessica Godwin as Interim Statistical Demographer and Training Director

Posted: 9/27/2021 ()

Newly minted statistics PhD Jessica Godwin joins CSDE in an interim position as a statistical demographer and training director.  We are REALLY lucky to continue to benefit from her statistical prowess and outstanding mentoring skills. Jessica Godwin’s dissertation developed new spatial, demographic and statistical methods for estimating under five mortality.  This work, conducted with CSDE Affiliate Jon Wakefield, recently informed the UN’s new estimation methods.  Jessica has a suite of outstanding statistical and demographic methodological skills to bring to any research project.  Additionally, Jessica is already familiar with CSDE, having been a trainee and fellow.  This means CSDE will benefit from her presence, at the very least, in terms of both continuity and good ideas for improving the quality of our training program.  Welcome Jessica!
