POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLAR POSITION NOW OPEN (2015-16)
A Postdoctoral Scholar position is available in Public Health Communication at the University of California, Merced. This position primarily involves analyzing data and preparing manuscripts emerging from several federally- and state-funded studies examining media and health (PI: Susana Ramirez).
The Ramírez Communication, Culture, and Health (CCH) Research Lab is committed to understanding how culture and communication influence health outcomes and can contribute to reducing health disparities in the United States. We investigate the influence of communication on individual- and population-level health and health disparities and the design of culturally appropriate communication strategies to improve health. The CCH Lab has an opening for a one-year position as postdoctoral fellow in Merced, California, to focus on research in the areas of communication, cancer prevention, and Latino health.
Idyllically situated between San Francisco, Monterey, and Yosemite National Park, UC Merced is a dynamic new university, which opened September 2005 as the tenth campus of the University of California and the first American research university of the 21st century. Public health faculty and students enjoy a highly collaborative team science environment focused on understanding and reducing health disparities.
