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

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship as a Data Quality Analyst
Frame your resume around structured training
J-1 visa Trainee and Intern programs require a formal training plan, not just a job description. Highlight specific data quality methodologies, tools, and competencies you need to develop so host employers can build a credible plan around your goals.
Verify your SOC code before applying
Data Quality Analyst roles map to different Standard Occupational Classification codes depending on whether the work is business-facing or technical. Confirm the correct SOC code on O*NET so your training plan aligns with what your designated sponsor will file.
Target host employers with existing sponsor relationships
Use Migrate Mate to find U.S. companies actively hosting J-1 exchange visitors in data and analytics roles. Employers already familiar with designated sponsors move faster through training plan approval and DS-2019 issuance.
Clarify the two-year home residency requirement early
Some Data Quality Analyst placements in government-funded research or public-sector data programs trigger the two-year home residency requirement. Confirm with your designated sponsor whether your specific host employer and funding source create this obligation before accepting an offer.
Distinguish program categories when approaching employers
If you're currently enrolled, you qualify for the Intern category. If you graduated within the past 12 months and have relevant field experience, you qualify for Trainee. Misidentifying your category causes training plan rejections, so name the correct one in your outreach.
Request the training plan template before your offer letter
Ask the host employer to share the Training/Internship Placement Plan (DS-7002) before finalizing your offer. Reviewing it confirms the role genuinely develops your data quality skills and gives you time to flag gaps before your designated sponsor reviews the document.
Data Quality Analyst J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category fits a Data Quality Analyst role?
The right category depends on your career stage. Current students or recent graduates within 12 months of completing a degree in a relevant field, such as information systems, statistics, or computer science, qualify under the Intern category. Professionals with a degree plus at least one year of field experience qualify under the Trainee category. Your designated sponsor confirms eligibility and issues the DS-2019 accordingly.
Who actually sponsors the J-1 visa for a Data Quality Analyst position?
The visa sponsor is a U.S. Department of State-designated organization, such as CIEE, Cultural Vistas, or AIPT, not your hiring employer. The employer acts as the host organization. The designated sponsor issues the DS-2019 form, approves the training plan, and monitors program compliance throughout your exchange. Conflating the two roles is a common source of confusion during the offer process.
How do I find U.S. employers willing to host a J-1 Data Quality Analyst?
Migrate Mate filters roles by visa sponsorship compatibility, making it straightforward to identify companies that have hosted J-1 exchange visitors in data and analytics functions. Not every employer knows how to structure a J-1 training plan for a technical role, so targeting those with prior experience shortens your timeline significantly.
What does the training plan requirement mean for a Data Quality Analyst placement?
Your host employer must complete a DS-7002 Training/Internship Placement Plan that maps specific data quality competencies, tools, and learning objectives to phases of your program. Generic job descriptions are not accepted. The plan must demonstrate skill development, not just task execution. Your designated sponsor reviews and approves it before issuing the DS-2019, so vague plans cause delays.
Can a J-1 Data Quality Analyst transition to a different visa status after the program ends?
Transition is possible but depends on whether you're subject to the two-year home residency requirement. If you are, you must return home for two years or obtain a waiver before changing to H-1B visa, O-1 visa, or adjusting status. If you're not subject to it, you can change status without leaving, provided you secure a qualifying employer and the appropriate visa category.
