Hi,

I'm recruiting a postdoctoral researcher with a background in causal inference. Our team is working to estimate effects of dynamic treatment strategies for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. In particular, we are conducting a wide range of target trial emulations to assess alternative strategies for initiating steroids and neuromuscular blockade, as well as manipulating ventilator settings. We also want to learn robust and interpretable phenotypes that are useful for dynamic decision-making.

Our team has three co-PIs: myself (a statistician with expertise in causal inference), Li-wei Lehman (a machine learning researcher at MIT/Physionet with expertise in phenotype learning from ICU data), and Elias Baedorf-Kassis (an ICU physician researcher at BIDMC/Harvard Medical School). We have funding in hand through September 2027, with the possibility for an additional two years funding pending approval of an extension. Salary would be ~$75K per year. Remote would be ok, but I'm based in NYC and the other PIs are based in Boston.

Please get in touch if interested or with any questions! (Zachar...@sph.cuny.edu or zach...@gmail.com)
