About the Opportunity
The Department of Epidemiology at the Boston University School of Public Health invites applications for a Postdoctoral Associate Research Fellow to conduct NIH-funded epidemiologic research on the effects of environmental chemical exposures on reproductive health.
Job Summary The Postdoctoral Associate will conduct independent and collaborative epidemiologic research examining the effects of environmental chemical exposures on reproductive health outcomes. Using data from the SELF cohort, they will investigate associations between individual and combined chemical exposures and outcomes including fertility and other reproductive outcomes.
Key Responsibilities & Accountabilities
Design and conduct epidemiologic analyses using data from the Study of Environment, Lifestyle, and Fibroids (SELF) cohort.Evaluate associations between environmental chemical exposures and reproductive outcomes.Apply and extend advanced statistical methods for evaluating the health effects of chemical mixtures and correlated environmental exposures.Develop analytic approaches that address exposure correlation, nonlinearity, interactions, and potential confounding in environmental epidemiologic studies.Lead the preparation and submission of manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals.Present research findings at national and international scientific conferences.Contribute to the development of grant applications focused on environmental and reproductive health.Collaborate with multidisciplinary investigators in epidemiology, environmental health, biostatistics, and reproductive health.Contribute to data management, quality control, analytic planning, and interpretation of findings.Mentor and support students in epidemiologic methods, statistical programming, and scientific writing.Research Environment
The Postdoc will join an active research program in reproductive and environmental epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health. The position offers opportunities to work with rich prospective cohort data and to develop expertise in innovative statistical approaches for environmental mixtures. The Postdoc will have opportunities for close mentorship and collaboration while also being encouraged to pursue research questions aligned with their interests and career goals.
Required
Skills
Doctoral degree (PhD, ScD, or equivalent) in Epidemiology, Environmental Health, or a closely related discipline.Strong training in epidemiologic methods and quantitative research.Demonstrated experience with environmental mixtures modeling, including methods for evaluating health effects of multiple correlated chemical exposures.Experience conducting analyses using large observational or longitudinal epidemiologic datasets.Strong programming and statistical skills in SAS, R, or a comparable statistical programming language.Demonstrated ability to independently design, conduct, and interpret epidemiologic analyses.Excellent scientific writing and oral communication skills.Strong interest in reproductive and environmental health research.Preferred
Experience in environmental epidemiology, reproductive epidemiology, infertility research.Experience with environmental chemical exposures, such as PFAS, heavy metals, persistent pesticides, or other endocrine-disrupting chemicals.Familiarity with advanced methods for mixtures analysis, such as quantile g-computation, Bayesian kernel machine regression, weighted quantile sum regression, or related approaches.Experience with time-to-event analyses of health outcomes.Knowledge of causal inference methods, including directed acyclic graphs, multiple imputation, marginal structural models, and mediation analysis.Experience analyzing longitudinal data.Grant writing experienceRecord of peer-reviewed publications commensurate with career stage.Boston University is an Equal…
