About this position

Northeastern University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to investigate the social determinants of health, with a particular focus on cognitive decline and dementia. The work will examine how gender, racial and ethnic identity, and socioeconomic conditions shape health outcomes and disparities.

The researcher will apply epidemiologic, econometric, and related methods to strengthen causal inference. The project involves multilevel and longitudinal datasets, quasi-experimental approaches, and analysis of rich data for research publications. Responsibilities span the full research process, including developing research proposals and manuscripts, presenting findings at professional conferences, and disseminating results to academic audiences.

The postdoctoral researcher will join an interdisciplinary team of social epidemiologists, data scientists, and policy researchers. The role also includes participating in academic mentorship of graduate students, coordinating ongoing research projects when opportunities arise, initiating independent research projects, and contributing to project meetings, seminars, and overall research progress. Northeastern University and the Greater Boston area provide access to career development resources and a broad research environment.

The position is fully remote, with no on-campus presence required, while the appointment is associated with Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts.
