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 long-term population health and health 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.
PhD, ScD, DrPH, or equivalent doctoral degree in a relevant quantitative or population health discipline.
Candidates who are completing their doctoral degree may be considered if all degree requirements will be completed before the start date.
