Position Description
The successful applicant will have a doctoral degree, a record of accomplishment in nutrition or related biological, public health, epidemiology, or medical field, and will have training/experience in conducting systematic reviews. Candidates should demonstrate quantitative/qualitative research skills, excellent written and oral communication skills, and the ability to work independently and with collaborators. A track record of original, first-author publications in nutrition, especially in systematic reviews/evidence synthesis, is desirable. US citizenship or permanent residency is required for this position.
Research will be conducted under the supervision of Dr. Martha Field. Emphasis will be placed on leading systematic reviews and writing narrative reviews. This position will also provide opportunities for career development. Successful completion of the project will require close collaboration with colleagues focusing on additional aspects of the project (i.e., evidence synthesis related to human maternal exposure and MCH outcomes and computational approaches to evidence synthesis). This position is based in Ithaca, NY, though may be amenable to some level of remote work. This is a one-year, full-time position with opportunity for renewal. This position is eligible for endowed college benefits. Candidates may either submit a stand-alone statement that describes their experiences with, and or approaches to, fostering learning, research, service, and/or outreach in a diverse community, or they may include such information elsewhere in their application.
