About this position

The University of Houston is hiring a Postdoctoral Fellow in Psychology to support the Clinical Research Center for Developmental Language Disorder. This is a research-focused postdoc for an early-career quantitative scholar with strong interests in biostatistics, epidemiology, statistics, longitudinal data analysis, complex survey methods, post-stratification weighting, missing data, REDCap, and electronic health record data.

The project is a large-scale, NIH-funded, multi-year longitudinal epidemiological study focused on estimating the prevalence of Late Talking (LT) and Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), identifying risk factors, and validating diagnostic criteria in a representative pediatric population. The fellow will work closely with the PI, project cores, and staff as a key quantitative contributor.

Core responsibilities include advanced statistical analyses, integrating EPIC and U.S. Census data to calculate survey weights, managing REDCap workflows and data dictionaries, coordinating across multiple institutions, conducting validation studies, and contributing to manuscripts, abstracts, and conference presentations.

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Statistics, or a closely related quantitative field. Strong experience with longitudinal analysis, survey sampling, weighting, or missing data is expected, along with programming skills in R, SAS, or Stata. Experience with large cohort datasets, administrative records, or EHR pipelines is preferred.

The position is benefits-eligible, funded for one year with possible renewal for multiple years, and the posting notes a minimum commitment of 2–3 years. Salary is listed as 49,400–56,200. Applications are reviewed immediately and will remain open until the position is filled.

To apply, submit a CV, a brief statement of research interests, and contact information for three references through the University of Houston internal hiring system.
