The Digital Health and Network Multi-omics Lab at Boston University is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate with a strong analytical background to join our research program in systems epidemiology and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Our group integrates epidemiologic data with multi-omics and digital health technologies to advance understanding of nutrition, metabolism, and cardiometabolic disease risk.

The role also offers opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration, authorship of publications, presentations at scientific meetings, and mentoring of graduate and undergraduate trainees.
