Overview




We are seeking a postdoctoral scholar for a NIH-grant funded position to join Dr. Sarah Keim's team at Nationwide Children's Hospital and The Ohio State University. Our team conducts research focused on early life influences (including nutrition) on child development, behavior, and growth. We focus on children with autism, children born preterm, as well as the general population of children, pregnant people, and their families.

With guidance from Dr. Keim, you will be responsible for leading an independent project that addresses our shared interests and aligns with your career goals. Your responsibilities will include designing studies, collecting data or analyzing existing data, disseminating results in manuscript and presentations, mentoring and training junior scholars, and grant writing.

A background in epidemiology, nutrition, psychology, education, or a related field is desired. Strong quantitative skills are essential. The selected candidate must be professional, self-motivated, and dedicated, with strong communication and interpersonal skill sets that fit our team. You will have many opportunities to develop professionally and will be part of a cohort of fellows in the Patient-Centered Pediatric Research Program (PC-PReP).
