About the Role
The Department of Population Health Science and Policy at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Fellow to work on the NIH-funded ASPIRE study, examining how school environments and policies shape adolescent cardiovascular health and future maternal health outcomes. The fellow will develop and apply agent-based models to estimate the population health and equity effects of school-based interventions.
Responsibilities
- Develop and implement agent-based models of adolescent cardiovascular health trajectories and later maternal health outcomes using NetLogo or a comparable simulation platform.
- Translate findings from longitudinal epidemiologic analyses, qualitative research, participatory group model building, and the scientific literature into model structure, assumptions, decision rules, and policy scenarios.
- Simulate intervention and counterfactual scenarios to estimate the effects of school-based policies on adolescent cardiovascular health, maternal morbidity, and racial/ethnic disparities.
- Conduct model calibration, verification, validation, uncertainty analysis, and sensitivity analysis.
- Document model assumptions, structure, and implementation using established reporting frameworks such as ODD and TRACE and relevant ISPOR/SMDM guidance.
- Develop reproducible workflows, maintain well-documented code, and use version control platforms such as GitHub.
- Contribute to collaborative manuscripts, abstracts, conference presentations, and policy-facing products.
- Participate in meetings with investigators, advisory board members, adolescents, school stakeholders, and community partners to refine model assumptions and interpret results.
Requirements
- Doctoral degree in Systems Science, Computational Social Science, Epidemiology, Public Health, Biostatistics, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Operations Research, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field.
- Demonstrated experience developing agent-based models, microsimulation models, system dynamics models, or other complex simulation models.
- Strong programming skills in NetLogo and/or another relevant language or platform, such as R or Python.
- Strong quantitative, analytic, scientific writing, and oral communication skills.
- Ability to work proactively and independently while contributing effectively to a multidisciplinary research team.
- Interest in adolescent health, cardiovascular disease prevention, maternal and child health, school policy, implementation science, or health equity.
- Experience working with longitudinal, multilevel, administrative, electronic health record, or other large population-based datasets.
- Familiarity with causal inference, multilevel modeling, life-course epidemiology, or health policy evaluation.
- Experience integrating qualitative or stakeholder-engaged findings into computational models.
- Peer-reviewed publication record demonstrating independent scientific productivity.
- Experience with collaborative software development, code review, and open or reproducible science practices.
