Postdoctoral Fellow-MSH-76700-111
Position Title: Postdoctoral Fellow in Environmental
Department: Environmental Medicine and Climate Science
Institution: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Location: New York, NY
Employment Type: Full Time
Start Date: Flexible and based on availability
Program and Resources
The Department of Environmental Medicine and Climate Science at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai https://icahn.mssm.edu/about/departments/environmental-climate-science supports a rapidly growing postdoctoral fellowship program. Training and research opportunities are available in epidemiology, data science, biostatistics, environmental health, exposure science, and/or child health research. You will work and train with a dedicated team of environmental epidemiologists, exposure scientists, biostatisticians, pediatricians, chemists, and toxicologists to support ongoing investigations involving clinical studies, exposure science, studies using large administrative datasets (e.g., Medicare, state health data), and ongoing longitudinal cohort studies based at Mount Sinai. Opportunities to develop new studies involving exposomic approaches to environmental factors (e.g., chemical, physical, nutritional, and social) in children, adolescents, and adults are available.
Our program hosts an NIEHS P30 Core Center, two NIH Human Health Exposure Analysis Resource (HHEAR) Lab Hubs, and the HHEAR data center. We are home to two Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) grants, the World Trade Center Responders Cohort, and a vibrant geospatial analysis program.
Eligible candidates may be supported by our T32 Postdoctoral Research Training Program in Environmental Pediatrics (T32HD049311). https://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/nihgps/html5/section_11/11.3.2_eligibility.htm

Faculty
Our faculty have diverse interests, including exposure science, novel tooth biomarkers, exposomic untargeted assays, spatial statistics, environmental pediatrics, oral health, respiratory health, community-based participatory research, neurobehavior, neuroimaging, and environmental statistics. Social determinants of health, health equity and environmental justice are areas of particular interest. Our faculty collaborate with researchers across the U.S. and internationally on studies involving cancer, uterine fibroma, lung growth, autism, ALS, and in clinical trials.
Qualifications
Candidates must have a doctoral degree (e.g., PhD, MD) and should be highly motivated to the study of environmental health, including learning new methodologies in Climate and Health, exposure science, complex mixtures data analysis, and exposomics, as applied to studies of human health and development.
Duties
Primary duties may include data collection, data analysis, and manuscript preparation, as well as building programming skills, laboratory skills, and study design skills. Other activities will include attending and presenting your research at workshops, seminars, and conferences and learning grant writing skills. Support for attending data science workshops is provided. Lab-based research fellowships in exposomics, exposure biomarkers, and epigenetics are available. This position may include opportunities for domestic and international travel.
