SUMMARY :

About Tracking California

Tracking California, a program of the Public Health Institute in collaboration with the California Department of Public Health, mobilizes data for public health action. We track and analyze data on sickle cell disease, environmental health, and related health outcomes to protect California communities. Our core values are scientific integrity, transparency, sustainability, equity, and partnership. We are committed to building an inclusive team that reflects the populations we support, and we actively seek applications from individuals from marginalized or underrepresented communities.

Position Summary

This position will focus on health services and outcomes research, examining questions such as healthcare utilization, mortality, and the impact of social determinants of health. The role will also extend to broader environmental health work, including exploring connections between environmental hazards (e.g., drought, extreme heat, air quality) and health outcomes such as mental health and chronic disease.

This is a remote, full-time position with a work schedule of 40 hours / week.

At PHI, a time-limited position is defined as regular employment with an expected end date of no more than one year from the beginning of the position. In rare circumstances, time-limited positions may be extended to a maximum total length of up to eighteen (18) months from the start of the employee's original time-limited position, or be converted to a regular position that is no longer time-limited.

Full salary range for this position : $70,296 to $101,911 per year. The typical hiring range for this position is from $70,296 (minimum) to $86,104 (midpoint), based on 100% FTE.
