Biography

Bri Matusovsky holds a PhD in Medical Anthropology from UC San Francisco-UC Berkeley. They graduated from Yale University, where they earned a Bachelor of Science in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Global Health Studies. They are an environmental and medical anthropologist and applied social science researcher. Their dissertation research investigated how the afterlives of colonial experimentation in the Caribbean shape contemporary culture and science in laboratories, agriculture, and environmental intervention. In their free time, Bri teaches yoga classes and enjoys meditation, drag, reading and writing poetry, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.

Bri is currently applying for postdoctoral fellowships, research, and project management positions in sociocultural/medical anthropology, bioethics, user experience (UX) and market insights, Science and Technology Studies (STS), environmental social sciences, and related fields.

Outside of their academic research and teaching, Bri is interested in establishing a nonprofit, similar to the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) for medical practitioners, to match PhD graduates with postgraduate employment at academic institutions. They are also thinking about starting a yoga retreat business on the side. Let them know if you have any advice or ideas about this!
