Job description

Description
Posting Date: November 24, 2025
Title of Position: Postdoctoral Associate
School: Yale School of Public Health
Department: Department of Health Policy and Management
Anticipated Appointment Date: February 1st, 2026
Fixed Term: One year, Full-time, renewable for an additional year with possibility of promotion thereafter.
A postdoctoral position is available with Professor Abigail Friedman in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Yale School of Public Health. Professor Friedman is a health economist whose research focuses on the policy drivers of tobacco and substance use. This postdoctoral fellowship will focus on grant-funded projects related to US cannabis policies' effects, with potential for collaboration on a wider set of projects related to tobacco and substance use.
The successful candidate will hold a PhD by the start of appointment, be proficient in Stata with strong econometric skills, and have experience executing difference-in-differences analyses using newer methods that address concerns about bias from heterogeneous and/or dynamic treatment effects. Attention to detail as well as the ability to work both independently and as part of a larger, multidisciplinary team are critical for this role, as collaborators include health economists, mathematical modelers, and policy experts across several academic institutions. Responsibilities will focus on data preparation, coding and implementation of quasi-experimental analyses under Professor Friedman's guidance, preparing data tables and figures for presentation and manuscripts, and contribution to manuscript drafting and revisions at a level consistent with co-authorship. The candidate may also contribute to the development of new grant applications.
Qualifications
Applicants must have a doctoral degree from an accredited institution by the start of the appointment. Successful applicants may have backgrounds in a variety of fields, including but not limited to economics, health policy, and public policy. Priority will be given to applicants with an active interest in applying quasi-experimental research designs to estimate policies' causal effects, particularly those related to substance use. Opportunities for advancement within this research team may be available contingent on success during the postdoctoral appointment.
Salary will be based on the Yale Postdoctoral Compensation policy, and support for travel to conferences may also be available. (https://postdocs.yale.edu/postdocs/being-a-postdoc-at-yale/postdoctoral-compensation)
Application Instructions
Yale University will use Interfolio to search for this position. Applicants receive a free Dossier account and can send all application materials at no cost.
Please apply online.
Please submit 1) a cover letter describing your research interests and interest in the position, 2) a curriculum vitae, 3) contact information for two references, and 4) (preferred but not required) a research or job market paper.
Applications will be considered on a rolling basis.
