Postdoctoral Associate in Epidemiology and Applied
Statistics
New York University College of Dentistry
College of Dentistry's Department of Epidemiology &
Health Promotion invites applications for a post-doc
position under the supervision of Dr. Ryan Richard
Ruff, associate professor and director of the
Biostatistics Core. The fellow will be primarily
involved in research and analysis of the CariedAway
study, a pragmatic, cluster-randomized,
non-inferiority clinical trial that explored the
feasibility and effectiveness of using silver diamine
fluoride for the treatment and prevention of oral
disease. Funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes
Research Institute, the current study aims to optimize
treatment protocols by conducting additional analysis
of the CariedAway clinical data. The selected
applicant will support the individual objectives of
the project, including the analysis of incidence rates
in the presence of interval censored data, calculation
of transition probabilities, and the use of
multivariate methods. The duties of the fellow will
include statistical analysis and development,
statistical programming, preparation of scientific
abstracts and writing manuscripts (first authorship
can be expected), and attending team meetings.
In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the
annual base salary range for this position is
$65,000.00 -$75,000.00. New York University considers
factors such as (but not limited to) the specific
grant funding and the terms of the research grant when
extending an offer.
About the department
Epidemiology & Health Promotion is a multidisciplinary
department in the College of Dentistry with expertise
across the public health sciences, including
biostatistics, epidemiology, health economics,
dissemination and implementation science, health
services research, health behavior, and global health.
Its mission is to improve the health of human
populations and reduce disparities by: expanding
knowledge of factors that affect oral health;
preventing and treating oral diseases; advancing
diverse research methods and supporting large-scale
implementation of programs; providing technical
assistance to organizations and governments on
effective ways of improving oral health equity; and
training the next generation of innovative dental
public health scholars and professionals. Department
faculty design and implement observational and
experimental studies in both community and clinical
settings, applying complex analytic methods to
understand the determinants of health and disease, the
efficacy and efficiency of interventions, and the
structure and financing of oral/dental health care at
the population level.
Qualifications
Applicants should have a PhD, DrPH, or ScD in
epidemiology, applied statistics, or a related
quantitative field with specific knowledge of
longitudinal data analysis, survival analysis, and
risk prediction. Expertise in R is essential.
Familiarity with oral health is helpful but not
required. A demonstrated ability to work both
independently as well as collaboratively with a
multi-disciplinary and diverse team is important.
