School Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
Department/Area Epidemiology
Position Description
Training in Comparative Effectiveness Research for Suicide Prevention is funded by the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health (training grant T32 MH125815). This interdisciplinary program is designed to train young investigators on modern causal inference methods for research on suicide prevention. The program trains both (i) researchers who have causal inference expertise, but not necessarily subject-matter expertise in suicide prevention, and (ii) researchers who have subject-matter expertise in suicide prevention, but not necessarily causal inference expertise. By bringing together investigators with interests ranging from predominantly methodological to predominantly substantive, the program facilitates cross-fertilization of ideas that will result in better tools for suicide prevention.
The Training Program is co-directed by Miguel Hernán, Matthew Nock, and Philip Wang. It coordinates training opportunities provided by the CAUSALab and the Department of Epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the Department of Psychology in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University, the Department of Psychiatry and the Department of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School, and Boston area hospitals. The CAUSALab launched in 2021 to articulate a growing research portfolio, create synergy with it’s strategic partners, and provide training on causal inference to the next generation of investigators.
Postdoctoral research fellows (postdoc trainees) who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents are eligible to apply.
