Jonathan Daw, PhD
Assistant Professor of Sociology
Pennsylvania State University
I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Demography at Pennsylvania State University. I earned my Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, where I had an NIH-funded predoctoral traineeship through the Carolina Population Center.
My research focuses on different combinations of gene-environment interplay, population health, demography, stratification, social and kinship networks, and quantitative methods. My primary research topics include:
Racial/ethnic disparities in the kidney transplantation
U.S. extended kinship networks – structure and functions
Gene-environment interplay in adolescent health behaviors
