Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship in Cardiovascular Epidemiology
Harvard School of Public Health
The Departments of Epidemiology and Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) have a long tradition of excellence in epidemiologic research relating to cardiovascular health.
An outstanding candidate is sought to work on original research projects supported by the National Institutes of Health on the effects of dietary habits on cardiovascular risk factors and disease outcomes. The research program and training will be directed by Dariush Mozaffarian, a cardiologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Assistant Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology at Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health. Dietary factors of particular interest include fish, omega-3 fatty acids, trans fatty acids, mercury, and selenium, and outcomes of interest include intermediary endpoints such as hemodynamics, glucose-insulin metabolism, endothelial function, adiposity, and inflammation, and clinical endpoints such as coronary heart disease, sudden death, stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and diabetes. Gene-diet interactions can also be investigated. Major emphasis will be placed on leading original analyses and manuscripts; career development; and transition toward independent funding and an independent research career. Competitive salary, benefits, and travel/educational opportunities in the rich interdisciplinary environment of HSPH and Harvard Medical School.
Eligibility
Doctorate (PhD/DrPH/ScD) in Epidemiology or Nutrition, and/or MD (preferably with Medicine/Cardiology training) with MS/MPH in Epidemiology. Established quantitative research skills, excellent writing skills, and prior publications are a must. Fellows are typically accepted for two years (conditional on performance); a third year may be considered.
