About the role

The Haber Lab in the Department of Environmental Health at Harvard University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in social and environmental epidemiology. The broad area of research will use geospatial and geographic analysis to understand the landscape of exposures that contribute to respiratory disease burden, particularly asthma, in cities.

Responsibilities

• Join, lead, and propose projects in the lab which use geospatial approaches to analyze city-wide data.
• Analyze datasets typically derived from electronic healthcare records and administrative municipal data sources (e.g., housing code violations or inspection scores).
• Collaborate closely with other data scientists, clinical allergists, pulmonologists, and immunologists to collect new data, generate hypotheses, and plan new analyses.

Qualifications

• PhD or equivalent in public health, epidemiology, data science, machine learning, computational biology, computer science, statistics, mathematics, or other quantitative field.
• Experience and/or training in geospatial analysis, Bayesian disease mapping, and other methods in spatial epidemiology.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, experience presenting and communicating research.
• Excellent problem-solving and quantitative analysis skills.
