Job Title

Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Epidemiology/Decision Science)

Employer

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center

Job Description

The Health Economics Section of the Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Center for Outcomes Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, led by Dr. Dhruv Kazi, is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research fellow to join our team. Our group is devoted to addressing the most pressing questions in cardiovascular medicine and population health using state-of-the-science methods in epidemiology, economics, and decision science.

Our work, primarily funded by the NIH, examines comparative effectiveness of therapies in high-risk populations, the real-world cost-effectiveness of novel cardiovascular prevention strategies, and the economic and health impacts of clinical and policy interventions.

The postdoctoral fellow will adapt an established simulation model for cardiovascular disease to address contemporary questions in cardiometabolic prevention and treatment. As such, we are looking for a candidate with demonstrated experience in simulation modeling of chronic diseases, including hands-on experience with building a simulation model using statistical/modeling software, derivation and implementation of key inputs, model validation and calibration, and interpretation and dissemination of findings to a broad audience.

What We Offer:

  • The chance to work with a team whose research is regularly published in high-impact journals like Circulation, JACC, and JAMA Cardiology, presented at major national and international conferences, and cited in clinical guidelines
  • Opportunities to work on projects that may involve building, validating, and applying disease simulation models (experience with modeling in R preferred; TreeAge experience also welcome)
  • A collaborative, mission-driven, interdisciplinary environment at the intersection of medicine, epidemiology, biostatistics, and health economics

The ideal candidate would have:

  • A PhD, or equivalent in decision science, economics, biostatistics, computer science, epidemiology, or a related field
  • Demonstrated experience in simulation modeling of chronic diseases
  • Proficiency in R (or modeling experience in TreeAge with willingness to transition to R)
  • Knowledge of cardiovascular epidemiology
