This is a full-time, temporary position, with a preference for candidates who can work remotely. The initial appointment is for one year, with the possibility of extension based on performance evaluations.


Research Focus:

The CIPR is particularly interested in candidates with expertise or a keen interest in quantitative analysis related to various topics, including:

  • Health and long-term care
  • Natural disasters and climate resilience
  • Artificial intelligence and big data
  • Cyber risk
  • Investment finance
  • Financial solvency monitoring

Postdoctoral researchers will collaborate with seasoned researchers to conduct applied research aimed at informing NAIC members and staff on significant issues, emphasizing the use of available NAIC data where relevant.

Additionally, CIPR researchers engage in foundational research to enhance the understanding of risk management and insurance-related topics, while maintaining strong connections with academic institutions and research centers.


Expectations:

Clear and effective communication of research findings in both written and oral formats is essential. Candidates should possess strong data analysis and statistical modeling skills, along with the ability to work collaboratively within a team environment.

Postdoctoral fellows will dedicate a substantial portion of their time to CIPR research projects, collaborating with the CIPR research team and other NAIC personnel, while also having the flexibility to pursue their own related research interests.


Minimum Qualifications:

Applicants must have obtained their Ph.D. within the last two years in fields such as economics, finance, risk management and insurance, or a related discipline.
