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.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Business Intelligence Analyst
Align your degree with BI analyst criteria
Your academic background must demonstrably connect to business intelligence work. A degree in data science, statistics, information systems, or a related quantitative field strengthens your DS-2019 application and satisfies most designated sponsors' eligibility screening.
Distinguish Trainee from Specialist category eligibility
If you have a degree plus at least one year of relevant experience abroad, the Trainee category fits. The Specialist category requires at least five years of documented professional BI or analytics experience outside the United States.
Search BI roles on Migrate Mate by sponsorship readiness
Filter Senior Business Intelligence Analyst openings on Migrate Mate to surface U.S. employers whose hiring history aligns with J-1 visa host requirements, so you aren't cold-applying to organizations unfamiliar with exchange visitor placements.
Request a detailed Training or Internship Placement Plan
Your host employer must complete a Training or Internship Placement Plan (DS-7002) with your designated sponsor. Push for specificity in each phase: SQL and data modeling in months one through three, dashboard delivery and stakeholder reporting in months four through six.
Verify the home-residency requirement before accepting an offer
Some J-1 Trainee and Specialist participants are subject to a two-year home-country residency requirement after their program ends. Confirm your status early, because this affects whether you can transition to H-1B visa or another work visa directly.
Cross-reference your offer salary against OFLC Wage Search data
Your host employer must pay a wage consistent with similarly situated U.S. workers. Pull the prevailing wage for your SOC code and location from the OFLC Wage Search before signing, so you can flag underpayment before your sponsor submits the DS-2019.
Senior Business Intelligence Analyst J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category fits a Senior Business Intelligence Analyst role?
Most Senior Business Intelligence Analyst candidates qualify under the Trainee or Specialist category. Trainee applies if you hold a relevant degree and at least one year of professional experience gained outside the United States. Specialist applies if you have five or more years of documented BI or analytics expertise. Current students completing a degree may qualify under the Intern category for shorter-term placements.
Who actually sponsors my J-1 visa, the employer or a separate organization?
A U.S. Department of State-designated sponsor organization, such as IIE, CIEE, Cultural Vistas, or AIPT, issues your DS-2019 and serves as the official J-1 visa sponsor. Your hiring employer is the host organization. The designated sponsor monitors compliance with your training plan and maintains responsibility for your exchange visitor status throughout the program.
How do I find U.S. employers that are prepared to host J-1 exchange visitors for BI roles?
Migrate Mate lets you search Senior Business Intelligence Analyst positions and identify U.S. employers whose hiring patterns align with J-1 host arrangements. Many employers are unfamiliar with the host-organization obligations, so targeting companies already engaged with exchange visitor programs reduces friction during the offer and placement process.
Does the two-year home-residency requirement apply to BI analyst J-1 participants?
It depends on your country of nationality, your field of study or expertise, and whether your home government or the U.S. government funded any part of your exchange. BI and data analytics roles do not automatically trigger the two-year requirement, but participants from certain countries or government-funded programs may be subject to it. Check your DS-2019 and consult your designated sponsor before making any post-program visa plans.
What does a J-1 Training or Internship Placement Plan require for a BI analyst position?
Your host employer and designated sponsor must complete a DS-7002 form outlining your training objectives, supervision structure, and phase-by-phase schedule. For a Senior Business Intelligence Analyst role, this typically includes defined phases covering data pipeline work, dashboard development, and reporting deliverables. Vague or generic plans are a common reason sponsors delay or decline to issue the DS-2019, so push your host employer to be specific.
