About this position
Northeastern University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to conduct independent and collaborative research at the intersection of epidemiology, environmental health, biostatistics, and child development at the Boston, Massachusetts, main campus.
The fellow will investigate how early environmental exposures—including biological, social, and physical factors—influence developmental, behavioral, neurodevelopmental, and health outcomes in children. The work will draw on longitudinal and population-level data, including mother-infant and early childhood cohort studies, and may involve environmental exposure measures such as PFAS, air quality, nutritional biomarkers, and other early-life toxicants.
Responsibilities include designing and executing epidemiological and environmental health analyses; applying mixed-effects models, mediation analysis, survival analysis, and other advanced biostatistical and causal inference methods; preparing peer-reviewed manuscripts; contributing to grant applications; and presenting findings at national and international conferences.
The fellow will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams spanning environmental science, pediatrics, developmental psychology, and public health. Additional research activities include supporting laboratory management, IRB protocols, data governance, and the coordination of studies involving pediatric and maternal populations. The role also provides opportunities to mentor graduate and undergraduate students in research methodology, statistical software, and scientific writing.
This research environment is part of Northeastern University’s R1 research enterprise, where interdisciplinary teams address complex global challenges through research, education, and innovation.
