Summary

The Department of Medicine, Section of Epidemiology and Population Sciences and Center for Precision Environmental Health (CPEH) at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow in environmental epidemiology to join the Program in Population and Environmental Health Disparities (PiPEHD). This is a 2-year flexible program focused on research within the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Porgram (www.echochildren.org). The successful applicant will gain experience in the statistical analysis and publication of epidemiologic studies as well as in study design and implementation, data collection and management, preparing study protocols, and developing research proposals in pursuit of independent funding opportunities. The ECHO Program is supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with the goal of understanding the effects of a broad range of early environmental influences on child health and development. Investigators in the PiPEHD have a currently funded Houston-based ECHO Cohort Study site in which pregnant women are recruited into the ECHO Cohort. The Houston-based ECHO Cohort Study site is particularly focused on chemical and physical exposures, perinatal health outcomes, and child neurodevelopment. The postdoctoral associate will work directly with Drs. Kristina Whitworth and Elaine Symanski, with interactions with other faculty and staff, to further ECHO-based research at BCM, including development of analysis proposals and publication of manuscripts based on extant ECHO Cohort data. The postdoctoral associate will be given the opportunity to pursue independent lines of inquiry related to the impact of the environment on health within the scope of the ECHO Program.
