A full-time Postdoctoral Associate position is available in the Yale University-Mayo Clinic Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (CERSI) and Yale School of Public Health. The candidate will be mentored by Drs. Joshua Wallach and Zeyan Liew.

Position details:

Successful candidates will have the opportunity to work with Drs. Wallach, Liew, the CERSI directors (Drs.
