The Academic Career Enhancement Program for Maternal and Child Health (ACE-MCH) of the UIC School of Public Health (UIC-SPH) Center of Excellence in MCH (CoE-MCH) invites applications for a postdoctoral training fellowship. The earliest start date for the fellowship will be August 16, 2023 with initial appointment for one year and reappointment through May 31, 2025 (end date of grant) contingent on satisfactory performance. A remote work option (i.e., location away from Chicago) is not available for this position.

The vision of the UIC CoE-MCH is to be a leader in the area of maternal and child health (i.e., women’s health, perinatal and infant health, and child health extending from early childhood through adolescent development) by conducting cutting-edge research, building public health capacity, fostering health equity and social justice, and developing leaders across the workforce continuum in order to strengthen individuals, families, and communities, and cultivate a culture of health and well-being for all. A central aim of ACE-MCH is to increase the diversity of the MCH academic pipeline by recruiting and supporting the academic career development of postdoctoral fellows and faculty from underrepresented backgrounds.

UIC is one of the most diverse research-intensive universities in the US and is designated as a Minority Serving Institution (MSI), an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI), and a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI).  UIC has received the Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award from INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine and was named one of the nation’s best 25 campuses for LGBTQ students by Campus Pride and the Huffington Post.  U.S. News & World Report’s “Americas Best Colleges” recently ranked UIC in the top 10 of Carnegie-classified national institutions for campus ethnic diversity.

The ACE-MCH training program features:

• Foundational training for conducting high-impact research and translating research to practice, as well as teaching, curriculum development, and leadership;
• Opportunity for each fellow to develop a training plan tailored to their scholarly interests and career goals;
• Individual mentorship for each fellow from a primary and a secondary mentor;
• Extensive practical experience with peer-reviewed publications and grant writing, supplemented by innovative programmatic supports; and,
• Activities to foster professional networking and collaboration both with other MCH scholars and with Title V and other community partners engaged in MCH practice and policy work.

Applications are welcomed from those with earned doctorates in diverse disciplines (e.g., women and gender studies, LGBTQ+ health, psychology, sociology, economics, anthropology). Applicants should have a strong intent to pursue an academic, research-focused career in maternal and child health or related discipline, with a preference for scholarship that addresses health equity.  Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

Applicants should submit the following materials to the search committee via the following Qualtrics survey link (https://uic.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cCiPSCFq2p6ZJMq):

• Cover letter addressing scholarly interests, prior research, teaching, commitment to health equity, applied experience in areas relevant to maternal and child health, and how the applicant learned about the opportunity to help with future recruitment efforts;
• Curriculum vitae;
• First-authored scholarly writing sample; and,
• Names and contact information of three individuals willing to provide letters of recommendation (these letters do not need to be provided with the initial application and will not be considered in the initial screening of applicants).

UIC is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action employer. Minorities, women, veterans, and individuals with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply. The University of Illinois conducts background checks on all job candidates upon acceptance of contingent offer of employment. Background checks will be performed in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

The position will remain open until filled, but to ensure full consideration please apply by June 16, 2023.

The Center for Education Data & Research (CEDR) is an education policy research center at the UW School of Social Work. They are seeking a Graduate Research Assistant to join our team this summer. More information about CEDR and our work can be found HERE. The position would begin June 16 2023, with opportunities for 20-40 hours per week. Additional quarters of funding are likely available, depending on fit.

 

The RA will work on a range of projects focused on key education policy issues such as: impact of education programs in correctional facilities, analysis of long- and short-term outcomes of PK-12 students in Washington, labor market outcomes of students in different academic settings (e.g., entry into postsecondary programs, workforce, etc.), and much more.

 

Under the direction of CEDR’s director, Dr. Dan Goldhaber, the RA will be assisting with the collection and cleaning of administrative longitudinal K12 data. The RA will also perform statistical and econometric analysis of data, as well as assist with dissemination of results (e.g., help prepare figures, tables, and slides). Lastly, the RA will likely have opportunities to contribute to academic journal articles and policy briefs.

 

They are looking for applicants who have a strong quantitative background with experience in a statistical programming language, preferably Stata, though other programs (e.g., R and SAS) are acceptable.

 

Please send a cover letter, CV, and contact information for three professional references to cedr@uw.edu.

 

The work schedule in the CEDR office is flexible, and there will be opportunities for remote work. However, some projects will entail working at our office located in Wallingford but easily accessed from the UW via the Burke Gilman trail or bus route 31 or 32.
