PROOF, a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)-funded interdisciplinary research program studying policy interventions to household food insecurity in Canada, is currently accepting applications for two (2) post-doctoral fellowships.
Successful candidates will join a team of accomplished researchers and examine economic predictors of food insecurity in Canada and changes in households’ vulnerability to food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic, working with large microdata files accessed through the Statistics Canada Research Data Centres under the supervision of PROOF principal investigator, Dr. Valerie Tarasuk.
The ideal candidates will have a strong interest in household food insecurity, social policy, and the social determinants of health, and the experience and expertise to take advantage of the opportunity to access novel and rich data on food insecurity, financial circumstances, and labour market activity to build a highly productive applied research portfolio.
These full-time temporary positions are for one (1) year, with the possibility of extension. The positions can commence as soon as possible. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis.
