Dr. Cassidy Puckett
NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship
Job Description
The Emory University Sociology Department invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in digital health inequities. The fellow will work with Dr. Cassidy Puckett (PI) on an NSF-funded study on how organizations shape racial and socioeconomic inequities in access to and use of medical devices to manage diabetes.
**The project is located in both California and Georgia; the postdoctoral fellow will be based in northern California.**
New medical technologies have the potential to support longer and healthier lives. Yet, at the same time, racial and socioeconomic inequities in their use paradoxically exacerbates existing health disparities. While some studies suggest these disparities can be explained by group differences in technological skill, little research examines the role of organizations and organizational systems in creating barriers to the benefits of medical innovation. Therefore, this study examines how different organizations (e.g., medical clinics, tech companies, schools) individually and collectively contribute to systems of health inequity in the digital age. Findings from the study will inform an organizations based intervention and help ensure equitable access to the benefits of medical innovation.
The postdoctoral fellowship presents a unique opportunity for early career scholars to gain research, grant writing, and publication experience working on a dynamic interdisciplinary team with medical researchers at Emory University and the University of California San Francisco. The fellow will receive mentorship from Dr. Puckett and collaborators at both institutions, opportunities for lead authorship and shared publication, and support for their independent research program.
Applicants should be Spanish-English bilingual (writing and speaking) and have experience conducting in-depth qualitative observations in schools and interviews with youth and their caregivers. Ideally, applicants will also have a research background in school-based healthcare, medical sociology, science and technology studies (STS), public health, and/or digital inequality.
Essential Responsibilities
+ Collaborate with Dr. Puckettonthe research project on how organizations shape socioeconomic and racial inequities in medical device use (60%). Specifically:
+ Collaborate on logistics of study recruitment, school district research reviews, and bi-coastal project management.
+ Translate study recruitment materials, data collection protocols, and qualitative data (English to Spanish and Spanish to English)
+ Collect, code, and analyze qualitative data (shadowing and interviewing participants)-please note that the study will involve asignificant amount of local travel.
+ Contribute to scholarly, grant reporting, and public-facing writing and presentation about project findings.
+ Co-develop grant proposals to support the ongoing project and related future phases of the research project and intervention (15%).
+ Work on your own ongoing projects (25%).
Supervisory Responsibilities
+ Shared responsibility for supervising part-time (undergraduate & graduate) student researchers.
+ Shared responsibility for supervising part-time community-based researchers (teens).

This applied research program is designed to change the way we approach drug discovery, offering fellows a unique chance to train in Data Science and AI for biomedical research. As a fellow, you will learn to apply your quantitative and computational skills to make a difference for patients and reimagine medicine at Novartis.

Despite well known, shared mechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders (i.e. Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), etc.), there is still a significant gap in understanding why such shared mechanisms are not reflected in biomarkers/targets identified for each of these diseases. In the Biomedical Research Neuroscience group we seek to tackle this challenge by creating one or several novel cross-disease AI models to potentially unlock the power of the vast amounts of public (and growing internal) data available. The goal is to enable improved biomarker identification (or reprioritization), identify additional targets for disease intervention, as well as gain a critical understanding of the outcomes of prior clinical trials to improve the design of future trials.

Through the Novartis Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, you will build your competency as a drug hunter, and as a scientific leader in the field. You will join a professional network that will support your growth as a research scientist, and you will have the opportunity to tackle disease and make an impact, by reimagining medicine together.

Start date: September/October 2025

Key responsibilities

As a Data Science Innovation Fellow, you will play a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases through the power of AI. In this dynamic and interdisciplinary position, you will:

• Drive Discovery : Independently and collaboratively explore cutting-edge AI methodologies to uncover insights across multiple neurodegenerative conditions.
• Illuminate Mechanisms : Deepen our understanding of the core biological processes that define neurodegeneration.
• Bridge Models and Medicine : Translate findings between human data and in-vivo models to accelerate therapeutic development.
• Uncover Breakthroughs : Identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets that could shape the next generation of neurodegenerative disease treatments.
• Lead with Influence : Empower cross-functional teams by clearly communicating complex concepts, sharing impactful findings, and fostering innovation across disciplines.

Essential requirements :

• PhD in data science, computational biology or a related field
• Note that PhD students in the last year of their thesis work are eligible to apply. Applicants are only eligible to apply up to 2 years from the date of receiving their PhD (i.e. PhD degrees must have been awarded May 2023 or later).
• Experience in AI/ML and scientific programming (preference for python)
• Familiarity with one or several of the following data modalities: human genetics, gene expression, proteomics
• Familiarity with the biology of neurodegenerative diseases is a plus
• Strong publication record or other scientific achievements (i.e. awards, patents, grants)
• Excellent analytical, communication, presentation and organizational skills
• Passion for fundamental exploratory research and boundless curiosity

How to apply:

Please submit your CV and cover letter by Aug 1st, 2025 for consideration. Please make sure to discuss in the cover letter how this training program will help you fulfill your career goals.

The starting salary for this position is $87,000 per year.
