Position summary

The Departments of Environmental Health Sciences and Epidemiology at Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health are looking to appoint multiple postdoctoral fellows to the NIH-funded program for Advanced Training in Environmental Health and Data Science: Molecules to Populations. These two-year appointments will start as early as January 1, 2026. Applicants must propose a plan of research in the broader fields of

environmental health sciences and mechanisms of disease, environmental epidemiology, or impacts of extreme weather. Interdisciplinary proposals incorporating features related to the exposome, health and wellness across the life course and/or data science are particularly welcome. This is a broad announcement. We expect to appoint multiple fellows pursuing topics that span different components of the program. Fellows

in the program will be expected to obtain core competencies in environmental health, epidemiology, and data science, to conduct independent research of high impact, and to undertake further interdisciplinary training. All fellows will be appointed in either the Department of Environmental Health Sciences or the Department of Epidemiology and will be affiliated with the Data Science Institute (DSI) of Columbia

University. Fellows will participate in seminars and workshops offered through the program, the departments and DSI in order to enhance their domain knowledge and advance their training. Further, fellows will receive training in team science and grant writing and will help coordinate interdisciplinary teams comprised of pre-doctoral and postdoctoral fellows in the program that support the integration of data science

methods in research. The Departments of Environmental Health Sciences and Epidemiology at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health foster innovative scholarship in toxicology, epigenetics, environmental epidemiology, lifecourse epidemiology and the impacts of extreme weather on human health.
