This position will be part of the prestigious Michigan State University (MSU) Research Foundation Postdoctoral Scholars Program, which is designed to provide an outstanding
environment for recent PhD graduates to receive state-of-the-art training in research areas covered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) agency. Dr. Margerison’s research focuses on understanding the determinants of racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in women’s health, particularly before, during, and after pregnancy. Her research seeks to identify and assess policy changes and
prevention strategies to eliminate disparities in perinatal health. The Margerison Research Group is currently 1) investigating impacts of public policies related to employment, child care, and financial wellbeing on pregnancy and postpartum health and health services utilization and 2) examining intersections between mental health, substance use, cardiovascular and metabolic health during pregnancy and postpartum.
The Postdoctoral Scholar will, in consultation with Dr. Margerison, choose one of these topics and lead a research project in that area. The scholar is expected to produce at least four first-author publications over two years and to develop an NIH proposal (e.g., a K99/R00) for submission no later than the beginning of their second year. The scholar will receive one-on-one mentoring and advanced training from Dr.
Margerison in relevant areas including proposal-writing and professional development. The scholar will also have ample opportunities to collaborate with other members of our research team as well as faculty and students at MSU, to share their research within MSU and at national meetings, and to receive advanced statistical training as necessary.
