The University of Illinois Chicago School are recruiting for a Bridge to Faculty Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Health Policy and Administration. We invite applications from outstanding scholars from diverse backgrounds who desire a career in academic public health and whose work aligns with our divisional focus on public health policy and law, public health and health care management and administration, health services, health economics, health disparities research, and public health informatics.
The Bridge to Faculty (B2F) Program is a university initiative designed to increase faculty diversity at UIC by recruiting and retaining scholars from groups that have been historically underrepresented in their departments or fields. Subject to satisfactory performance and University approval, the successful candidate may be re-appointed for one additional year as a postdoctoral scholar. Successful postdocs in the B2F Program may have the opportunity to transition to tenure-track faculty at UIC starting in the
2025-2026 academic year.
The position is full-time and benefits-eligible. The selected scholar will be involved in a robust mentoring program within the UIC School of Public Health and will participate in a cohort-based mentoring experience through the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, along with other B2F Scholars.

Do you identify as Arab or Arab American, ages 18-25, live in Western WA, AND want to share your perspectives on health needs and what health means to you? Consider participating in a visual ethnography and survey project! CSDE Trainee Delaney Glass (Ph.C. in Biological Anthropology and MPH student) is doing a project to explore the unique physical and mental health needs and perceptions of health among Arab and Arab American youth ages 18-25. She is using PhotoVoice which involves three community meetings, taking photos, and development of narratives to share with the Iraqi Arab Health Board of Washington and a short 10-15 minute online questionnaire. Please see the attached flyer for the link to the questionnaire and contact Delaney if you’re interested in participating in PhotoVoice. PhotoVoice participants will receive a $100 giftcard. Feel free to share widely with your networks!

The CBE Inspire Fund, funded through Research Cost Recovery as well as the Applied Research Consortium, is designed to support research activities for which a relatively small amount of support can be transformative. This may include work that is traditionally underfunded, or that done by scholars who are members of groups currently underrepresented in our college. Inspire Fund proposals may request awards between $1,000 and $5,000. We anticipate awarding up to $21,000 in this funding cycle. More information can be found here!
Dr. Daniel Goodkind (Independent Research), an expert on the demographic dynamics in China, will be speaking to the UN’s Population Division on January 19, 2023 at 11am (Pacific). The talk will reflect upon the divisive debates that continue over the demographic impact of China’s half century Malthusian campaign to control its population (1970-2021), the underlying disagreement concerns what to call it. The ubiquitous “one-child policy” label narrows attention to one-child limits imposed during a 35-year sub-era (1980-2015), a long-recognized misnomer that excludes the initial decade of compulsion and obscures the broader program of regulations and enforcements that evolved during that sub-era (and lingered afterwards). The misnomer is further flawed for misidentifying the birth ceiling most responsible for its demographic consequences. This research begins with common ground – that Malthusian intervention reduced China’s current population by over 600 million, independent of developmental forces. It then estimates 200 million one-child era singletons. If half or less of them resulted from compulsion, as conventional wisdom suggests, at least 73 percent of the overall population reduction was due to two-child (and higher) limits and associated regulations, the key constraints even during the one-child era. Relatedly, although one-child limits account for only 166 million of that population reduction (less than half the official estimate of 400 million averted), that estimate jumps to 475 million when the one-child era is broadly defined. A companion analysis of female “missing births” illustrates widespread acceptance of the broader definition. Although routinely attributed to “the one-child policy,” 90 percent or more of missing females were second or later births constrained instead by higher-order birth ceilings. Intuition fails because decades of one-child images, along with each utterance of the phrase, keep refreshing the misnomer.
