The Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the Rutgers School of Public Health located in Piscataway, NJ is seeking a Post Doctoral Associate to join an interdisciplinary research program focused on pregnancy, life-course cardiometabolic health, and the developmental origins of health and disease.

The Post Doctoral Associate will work with longitudinal pregnancy and birth cohort data to investigate how metabolic and molecular characteristics during pregnancy contribute to maternal and offspring health across the life course. Current projects integrate epidemiologic data with metabolomics, proteomics, and other high-dimensional molecular measures to study pregnancy cardiovascular health, adverse pregnancy outcomes, placental biology, and later cardiometabolic disease.

The associate will have opportunities to lead manuscripts, develop independent research questions, contribute to NIH-funded and collaborative studies, present findings at scientific meetings, and participate in grant development. The position will provide training and mentorship in life-course epidemiology, pregnancy and perinatal epidemiology, and the analysis of high-dimensional molecular data.

This is a 12-month full-funded position, with additional years dependent on funding and satisfactory performance.

• Lead analyses of longitudinal epidemiologic and molecular data.
• Develop and apply statistical approaches for metabolomics, proteomics, and related high-dimensional data.
• Prepare first-author manuscripts and scientific presentations.
• Collaborate with epidemiologists, biostatisticians, clinicians, and laboratory scientists.
