Jordan D. Klein is a demographer, social epidemiologist, and quantitative and computational social scientist. His current work focuses on understanding the drivers of the spatio-temporal evolution of mortality disparities, especially in emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.

Jordan comes to MPIDR from Princeton University, where he obtained his PhD in Demography, specializing in international comparative epidemiology and computational demography. He wrote his dissertation on "Emerging and Re-Emerging Infectious Diseases and their Social Contexts." While at MPIDR, Jordan plans to (among other topics) continue his research agenda on climate change, emerging infectious diseases, and their social drivers and impacts, with a special focus on the key roles of migration, mobility, and social inequities.
