The Watson School of International and Public Affairs and the Department of Health Services, Policy and Practice at the Brown University School of Public Health invite applications for a two-year joint Postdoctoral Research Associate position beginning in the Fall of 2026. This position offers early-career scholars the opportunity to pursue independent research while engaging with leading faculty across both schools. We are especially interested in candidates with training in economics, political science, or other social science disciplines whose research applies rigorous empirical methods to address pressing questions in health policy, health systems, or health economics. Scholars studying health care affordability, Medicare and Medicaid policy, health care pricing, payment and insurance reform, provider and market behavior, global health policy evaluation, or the political economy of health systems are encouraged to apply. Candidates employing quantitative, quasi-experimental, or mixed methods approaches to study the design, implementation, and consequences of health policy are especially welcome. Applications received by October 15, 2025 will receive full consideration.
