About this position
Boston University School of Public Health is advertising a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Community Health Sciences, based in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.
The fellowship is under the mentorship of Danielle F. Haley, Kaku So-Armah, and Matthew Fox and focuses on a NIDA-funded study examining cannabis exposure, HIV, and aging. The project investigates how cannabis use and cannabis use disorder relate to geriatric syndromes such as falls, fractures, delirium, and dementia, as well as antiretroviral therapy (ART) failure and adherence. The research uses longitudinal data from the Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS), the Mt. Sinai HIV cohort, and natural language processing (NLP) methods applied to electronic health records (EHR).
This is a strong fit for candidates interested in epidemiology, HIV epidemiology, substance use epidemiology, cannabis research, health informatics, causal inference, quantitative bias analysis, and longitudinal data analysis. The role includes manuscript writing, literature reviews, creation of area-level and temporal measures, technical development of analytical variables, and implementation of quantitative bias analyses. The fellow will also participate in study meetings, present findings, and support data-sharing activities.
Eligibility highlights include a PhD or equivalent degree in epidemiology, health sciences, biostatistics, or a related quantitative health field earned within the past two years, plus strong English communication, analytical ability, and publication experience. Prior experience in HIV, cannabis/substance use, aging, informatics, or causal inference is desirable but not required.
The position offers a competitive compensation package, with an expected salary range of $67,000 to $70,000. Applicants should email a single PDF package including a cover letter, CV, graduate transcript, one first-author publication, and three references to Kara Magane at [email protected].
