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.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
A complete application will include; cover letter, CV, and names of three references (if available, reference letters welcomed). Applications should be submitted via Interfolio. Questions can be directed to Julia Sharib (julia.reedy@tufts.edu). Applications will be considered as they are received.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Business Intelligence Engineer
Align your credentials to J-1 category requirements
Trainee category requires a degree plus one year of relevant experience, or five years of work experience without a degree. Gather transcripts, employment verification letters, and a skills portfolio documenting your BI tools, SQL proficiency, and dashboard delivery work before approaching host employers.
Target host employers who already use DS-2019 processes
Companies that have previously hosted J-1 trainees understand the training plan and DS-2019 obligations. Look for data-heavy industries like finance, healthcare analytics, and logistics, where BI engineers are embedded in teams with structured onboarding and documented project scopes.
Build a structured training plan around BI deliverables
Your designated sponsor requires a detailed training plan (Form DS-7002) outlining phase-by-phase objectives. Structure yours around concrete milestones: data pipeline development, stakeholder reporting cycles, and platform migrations, so the sponsor can verify the program has genuine educational value.
Use Migrate Mate to find J-1-aligned BI engineering roles
Filtering for host employers open to J-1 exchange visitors is easier when the search is built around sponsorship compatibility. Use Migrate Mate to identify Senior Business Intelligence Engineer openings at companies with a documented pattern of hosting international professionals.
Verify the two-year home residency requirement early
Some J-1 participants in government-funded or skills-list programs must return home for two years before changing to H-1B visa or permanent resident status. Confirm with your designated sponsor whether your specific funding source or nationality triggers this requirement before accepting any host offer.
Confirm prevailing wage compliance before the offer stage
Your host employer must pay you at least the prevailing wage for your role and location. Run your job title and work location through the OFLC Wage Search before finalizing terms, so you can flag any gap to HR and avoid a failed DS-2019 submission.
Senior Business Intelligence Engineer J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category fits a Senior Business Intelligence Engineer?
Most Senior BI Engineers qualify under the Trainee category if they hold a relevant degree and at least one year of BI experience, or five years of experience without a degree. Research Scholar applies if your role is embedded in a university or research institution conducting data science or analytics research. The Specialist category covers narrowly defined expertise when neither Trainee nor Research Scholar fits.
Who actually sponsors the J-1 visa for this role, the employer or a third party?
The J-1 visa sponsor is always a U.S. Department of State-designated organization such as IIE, Cultural Vistas, or AIPT, not the hiring company. The hiring company is your host employer. The designated sponsor issues your DS-2019, approves the training plan, and monitors compliance throughout your program. Your employer's role is to sign the training agreement and pay your wages.
How do I find host employers open to J-1 exchange visitors for BI engineering positions?
Most job boards don't filter by visa category compatibility, which makes it difficult to identify J-1-friendly host employers directly. Migrate Mate is built around sponsorship signals and lets you surface Senior Business Intelligence Engineer roles at companies with a track record of hosting international professionals under exchange visitor programs.
What documents does a Senior BI Engineer need before a designated sponsor will issue a DS-2019?
You'll need academic transcripts or employment verification letters confirming eligibility for the Trainee or Specialist category, a signed offer letter from the host employer, a completed DS-7002 training plan with phase-specific BI objectives, proof of English proficiency, health insurance meeting State Department minimums, and evidence of intent to return home after the program ends.
Does the two-year home residency requirement apply to J-1 Business Intelligence Engineers?
It depends on your funding source and nationality. If your training program is financed by your home government or a U.S. government agency, or if your home country has listed your occupation on the State Department's skills list, the two-year rule applies. You'd need to return home for two years before switching to H-1B or applying for permanent residence. Confirm this with your designated sponsor before accepting a host offer.
