About the Role

Conduct interdisciplinary research integrating satellite remote sensing, environmental exposure assessment, artificial intelligence, epidemiology, and multi-omics to investigate the biological and population health impacts of environmental exposures. Contribute to federally funded research projects that integrate Earth observation data, environmental monitoring, epidemiologic cohorts, and genomic and multi-omics resources to better understand the mechanisms linking environmental exposures to human health.

Responsibilities

Develop high-resolution environmental exposure datasets by integrating satellite remote sensing, environmental monitoring, meteorological, and geospatial data.
Design and implement scalable computational workflows and high-performance computing pipelines for processing large environmental and health datasets.
Develop and apply artificial intelligence, machine learning, and statistical methods for environmental exposure modeling, data fusion, spatial prediction, and uncertainty quantification.
Integrate environmental exposure data with epidemiologic, genomic, and multi-omics resources, including GWAS, whole-genome sequencing, whole-exome sequencing, metabolomics, proteomics, lipidomics, and DNA methylation datasets.
Investigate the molecular, genetic, and population health impacts of environmental exposures, including air pollution, climate-related hazards, and other environmental stressors.
Contribute to studies examining environmental determinants of chronic disease, cardiometabolic health, and health disparities.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary investigators across environmental health, epidemiology, biostatistics, genetics, Earth science, and computer science.
Prepare peer-reviewed manuscripts, present research findings at scientific conferences, and contribute to NIH, NASA, and other federal grant applications.
Mentor graduate and undergraduate students participating in research projects.
Performs other duties as assigned.

Requirements

Demonstrated experience in environmental data science, geospatial analysis, remote sensing, epidemiology, bioinformatics, or related research areas.
Strong programming skills in Python and/or R, with experience working in Linux/Unix environments.
Experience processing and analyzing large environmental, geospatial, biomedical, or population health datasets.
Excellent quantitative, analytical, scientific writing, and communication skills, with evidence of peer-reviewed publications.
Experience with satellite remote sensing, environmental exposure modeling, or spatial statistics.
Experience with artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, or cloud/high-performance computing.
Experience working with genomic, multi-omics, or large epidemiologic cohort datasets.
Familiarity with environmental epidemiology, molecular epidemiology, or precision public health research.
Experience with reproducible research workflows, version control, and open-source software development.
Employees must permanently reside and work in the State of Texas.
