A Ph.D. in Psychology or a related field is required. Prior work in disaster- or trauma-related mental/physical health and previous experience managing large, multi-wave longitudinal datasets are recommended. Expertise in multi-level and structural equation modeling, analyzing weighted data from complex longitudinal surveys of probability-based samples, experience with STATA and R, and excellent writing skills are preferred.
