The CUNY ISPH has a rapidly growing COVID and mental health research portfolio. We are recruiting for a data analyst who focuses on advanced epi methods and longitudinal data analysis. The research analyst will primarily collaborate on our COVID and mental health research portfolio under the supervision of Dr. Denis Nash. There will be opportunities to contribute to and advance future studies in development.

The position comes with a one year hire commitment, and further extension is dependent on funding availability and performance. This can be a remote position, and visa sponsorship is available as long as the applicant is currently in the United States.

The mission of The CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy is to provide a collaborative and accessible environment for excellence in education, research, and service in public health, to promote and sustain healthier populations in New York City and around the world, and to shape policy and practice in public health for all.

The CUNY Institute for Implementation Science in Population Health (ISPH) was founded on the notion that substantial improvements in population health can be efficiently achieved through better implementation of existing strategies, policies, and interventions across multiple sectors. With that in mind, we study how to translate and scale-up evidence-based interventions and policies within clinical and community settings in order to improve population health and reduce health disparities. The ISPH leads cutting-edge research across a range of topics, including health disparities, HIV, COVID-19, substance use, and mental health. We utilize innovative methods, including large online national cohorts, discrete choice experiments, quasi-experimental methods, visualization dashboards, and cluster RCT / hybrid trials.
