The Laboratory of Epidemiology and Population Sciences (NIA) and the Chronic Disease Epidemiology Group (NIEHS) in the NIH Intramural Research Program are seeking a talented and motivated post-doctoral fellow to participate in research to develop a multi-dimensional index of aging-related exposures using existing epidemiological studies at the NIH and other large administrative databases. This joint Fellowship is aimed to train cross-discipline researchers in the fields of Environmental and Aging Epidemiology, with an emphasis on data science-based methodologies that can be applied to understand the environmental impact on aging. The Fellow's work is expected to be transformative in overcoming barriers to data interoperability and integration, ultimately leading to breakthroughs in research on the underlying environmental, lifestyle, socioeconomic, climate, and aging-related drivers of health.
Qualifications:
