The International Society for Bayesian Analysis, Rochester, New York, United States,
Postdoctoral opening in Environmental Health Biostatistics at the University of Rochester
Jul 15, 2021 Applications are invited for a postdoctoral fellowship in Environmental Health (EH) Biostatistics in the Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology at the University of Rochester (UR), funded by an NIEHS T32 training grant. Depending on statistical training, the appointee will develop novel statistical methodology for projects related to EH, or carry out applied statistical analyses for EH-related projects, under the co-mentorship of Biostatistics and EH faculty trainers. Methodological expertise among Biostatistics faculty trainers includes Bayesian MCMC methods, models for multiple outcomes, latent variable models, measurement error, missing data, causal inference, survival analysis, clustering, statistical genomics, molecular systems biology, and bioinformatics. The specific area of methodological development or applied analysis may be based in part on the trainee’s interests, and may be motivated by ongoing EH research at UR, such as studies of the effects of exposure to air pollution, metals, endocrine disruptors, pesticides, shale gas (fracking) or stress on pregnancy outcomes, reproduction, immune function, neurodevelopmental disorders, cognitive outcomes, or gene expression pathways. The appointee will also receive further training in biostatistics and toxicology, and be involved in collaborative work with EH researchers. Interested trainees will have the opportunity to gain experience in community engaged research related to understanding and addressing environmental health problems. The candidate should plan to start in fall 2021, but a later start date will also be considered. Applications will be accepted until Sept 1 or until filled. For more information please see
