Overview:
The Food is Medicine Institute at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University (the Institute) seeks an outstanding postdoctoral fellow to work on an original nutrient profiling system, Food Compass, under the mentorship and guidance of Institute Director Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian.
Bringing together research, training, patient services, policy development, and community engagement, the Institute aims to serve as a catalyst to drive change, improve health, reduce health disparities, and create a more equitable and resilient healthcare system that recognizes the power of nourishing food. Its efforts are centered in health equity to work collaboratively with and improve the lives of traditionally marginalized, vulnerable populations. The Institute also hosts and builds networks with partnerships with stakeholders within and beyond healthcare to ensure that efforts advance well-being and policy broadly and reach the people who need them most.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
This is a full-time (12 months per year) position with an anticipated duration of 2-3 years, subject to annual review and renewal based on performance and available funding. The position is based in Boston, MA, and requires regular in-person work. Flexible and hybrid arrangements (e.g., 1–2 days per week remote) may be considered; fully remote work is not available. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. The start date is negotiable. This position offers a competitive salary, excellent benefits, and opportunities for professional development, travel, and collaboration with leading researchers and partners.
The successful candidate will meaningfully contribute to advancing the development, expansion, and application of Food Compass across various partnerships. This may include research and activities related to:
- Updating and expanding the Food Compass algorithm according to the latest science, including expansion to include novel health-related bioactive attributes;
- Supporting ongoing work and manuscripts, including related data manipulation and harmonization of large U.S. branded food databases, including application of AI tools for nutrient attribute coding, ingredient extraction, and large-scale dataset harmonization;
- Leading analyses describing dietary intake in the United States and internationally using Food Compass and existing dietary data from major data sources, including the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), the USDA Branded Foods Database, UK Biobank, and others;
- Collaborating with food retailers, healthcare systems, international health-focused government agencies, nutrition-focused venture capital firms and coalitions, and other organizations to advance the role of NPS in consumer education and the creation of a healthier and more equitable food environment;
- Disseminating research findings to relevant stakeholders, including the scientific community, food system leaders, legislative bodies, and advocacy groups and agencies.
The fellow will work within a close-knit, collegial multi-disciplinary team of other trainees, students, and staff within the Institute. In addition to mentoring from Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, the fellow will interact with and gain knowledge and experience from a range of other expert faculty across the Institute and beyond. The fellow will also benefit from meetings, seminars, and coalitions of multi-sector leaders in Food is Medicine including healthcare, community-based, retail, policy, and advocacy organizations. The training program will emphasize the design and publication of original analyses and manuscripts as first author, career development, and transition toward an independent research career.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
Candidates must possess a relevant medical or doctoral degree (MD, PhD, DrPH, ScD) in quantitative sciences (biostatistics, artificial intelligence, epidemiology, etc.), health sciences (e.g., medicine, nutrition, public health, etc.), or related professions (e.g., economics, public policy, business, law, etc.). Strong quantitative and data skills are a must. Ideal candidates will have demonstrated experience applying AI and machine learning tools to manage, clean, and code complex nutrient content and food product datasets. Experience with data visualizations, front of pack labeling, and nutrition policy would also be an asset.
Individuals who work well across disciplines, are collegial and collaborative, and have interest in the intersections of nutrition, information systems, health, medicine, and equity will particularly thrive in this role. Candidates must have a track record of successful interdisciplinary research as evidenced by multiple original, peer-reviewed research publications in a relevant field. We seek candidates whose work is relevant to diverse stakeholders in public and health sectors.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
Required education, experience and skills
Applicants must have an MD or doctoral degree (PhD, DrPH, ScD); additional training in biostatistics, coding, AI, epidemiology, nutrition, public health, economics, or related fields; and a record of original, first-author research publications in relevant areas. Candidates must have excellent quantitative/analytical research skills, strong written and oral communication skills, experience using analytic programs for data management and analysis (e.g., STATA, SPSS, SAS, R), and familiarity with AI tools for data processing, nutrient coding, and analysis of large food and dietary datasets, and the ability to work well independently and as part of a team with collaborators.

Map your degree to AI specialty occupation criteria
The H-1B1 visa requires your role to demand a specific bachelor's degree. Use O*NET to confirm your AI title's listed education requirements match your Chilean credentials before applying, since mismatches trigger consulate denials.
Verify your wage offer against DOL prevailing rates
Your employer's LCA must certify wages at or above the DOL prevailing wage for your AI role and work location. Run the OFLC Wage Search using the correct SOC code before negotiating your offer to catch shortfalls early.
Search companies with active H-1B1 Chile LCA filings
Use Migrate Mate to filter employers who have already filed Labor Condition Applications for H-1B1 Chile roles. These companies have cleared the administrative learning curve and are far more likely to move quickly on an AI hire.
Target AI teams at E-Verify enrolled employers
Some U.S. states require federal contractors to use E-Verify, which overlaps heavily with AI defense and research roles. Confirm your target employer is enrolled before accepting an offer, since unenrolled employers can't complete your I-9 under certain contracts.
Prepare a credential evaluation before your consulate interview
Chilean licentiate and professional degrees sometimes require a formal equivalency evaluation for U.S. consular officers. Get a credential evaluation from a NACES-member organization that explicitly maps your AI or computer science degree to a U.S. bachelor's.
Negotiate LCA filing timing into your start date
Unlike H-1B visa, H-1B1 Chile has no USCIS petition step, but DOL LCA certification still takes up to seven business days. Build that window into your offer letter so your consulate appointment isn't scheduled before the certified LCA is in hand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do AI jobs qualify as specialty occupations under the H-1B1 Chile visa?
Yes, most AI roles qualify. Titles like machine learning engineer, data scientist, NLP researcher, and computer vision specialist require at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, mathematics, or a directly related field. That degree requirement is what makes them specialty occupations. Roles described as requiring any bachelor's degree, regardless of field, may not qualify and should be reviewed carefully before filing.
How does the H-1B1 Chile visa differ from the H-1B for AI professionals?
The H-1B1 Chile visa skips the H-1B lottery entirely and has a separate annual cap of 1,400 visas that has never been exhausted. You apply at the U.S. consulate in Chile after your employer files an LCA with DOL, with no USCIS petition required. The tradeoff is that H-1B1 doesn't allow dual intent, so it isn't a direct path to a green card the way an approved H-1B petition can be.
How do I find AI employers who already sponsor H-1B1 Chile visas?
Migrate Mate filters job listings by employers with verified H-1B1 Chile LCA filing history, so you can focus on AI teams that have already navigated the sponsorship process. Cold-applying to companies with no H-1B1 experience adds months of internal approvals before your consulate interview can even be scheduled.
Can my employer use a placeholder LCA while finalizing my AI role details?
DOL requires the LCA to reflect your actual job title, SOC code, wage level, and work location. A placeholder with approximate details creates compliance risk and can lead to a Request for Evidence or consulate denial. Your employer should have your offer letter finalized before submitting the LCA to avoid amending it later.
What happens to my H-1B1 Chile status if my AI role shifts to a different team or function?
A material change in job duties, title, or work location requires your employer to file a new LCA and may require a new visa stamp if the change happens outside the U.S. Remote work arrangements that move you to a different metropolitan area also trigger a new LCA, since prevailing wages are location-specific under DOL rules.
