Nataliia Levchuk is a Research Stipend Holder at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Rostock, Germany, where she is affiliated with the Laboratory of Population Health. Her research focuses on key demographic issues in Ukraine, including mortality, fertility, migration, and long-term health impacts of historical events.

Her research interests span demography, population health, and social determinants of health, with a strong regional focus on Ukraine. She investigates spatial disparities in mortality, the intergenerational effects of famines, alcohol-related deaths, fertility decline, and the well-being of displaced populations. Her work combines demographic methods with epidemiological and social science approaches.

The recent articles highlight a consistent focus on Ukrainian population dynamics, utilizing both historical and contemporary data. Themes include the legacy of the 1932–1933 famine on adult health, geographic variation in mortality, and the social impacts of internal displacement. Her research often employs large-scale data analysis and contributes to understanding health inequalities and demographic transitions in Eastern Europe.
