The Beck lab in the Center for Human Genetics and Genomics at the New York University Grossman School of Medicine is seeking highly motivated and talented candidates for fully funded postdoctoral positions starting Summer 2025.
Our group is interested in understanding the genetic determinants of disease and utilizing this information to define the mechanisms underlying pathologic processes. We use a combination of patient derived samples, mouse and cellular models, and in vitro biochemical tools to dissect these pathways. Our major focus is on characterizing autoinflammatory diseases, or diseases of constitutive activation of the innate immune system, frequently caused by genetic mutations. In particular our recent discovery of VEXAS Syndrome (Vacuoles, E1, X-linked, Autoinflammatory, Somatic Syndrome) a severe inflammatory disease affecting hundreds of thousands of individuals, that is caused by somatic mutations in UBA1, highlights the power of integrating clinical studies, human genetics, and molecular biology to uncover previously unrecognized pathways and diseases. We are looking for postdocs with expertise in any of these fields (immunology, cell signaling, mouse models, biochemistry, experimental pharmacology) to join our new lab and lead a stimulating project.

Patron Impact & Satisfaction Researcher - Stephen A. Schwarzman Building
Researcher Job 13 miles from Newark
Job DescriptionDescriptionOverview The Strategy & Public Impact team is The New York Public Library’s central node of information and insights about its users, usage, and impact. We support decision makers and program staff across the institution through business intelligence, impact assessment, strategic conversations, user research, and data mentorship.
The Patron Impact & Satisfaction Researcher will play an important role in helping the Library meet its full potential as a vital, relevant, and accessible public institution that is equitably used across our service area. Our patrons’ satisfaction with the quality and outcomes of their library experience not only influences their future library use - it can also shape their views of, and support for, civic institutions and public life more broadly.
The Patron Impact & Satisfaction Researcher’s mandate is the development, analysis, and dissemination of survey-derived metrics tracking our patron (and broader community) experience, satisfaction, and impact, at the level of the Library overall, as well as its specific programs and services.
This is a great opportunity for someone interested in applying their research and analytical skills to identifying the drivers underlying library “magic” and recommending ways to broaden and deepen it, thereby enhancing our benefit to the communities we serve.
Key responsibilities
Metric development: Translate outcome and impact goals from internal logic models into a core set of experience, satisfaction, and impact measures for specific offerings, and for the Library overall
Survey development and testing: Operationalize these metrics into survey questions to be administered to patrons and community members
Data infrastructure: Build the process by which these metrics are regularly gathered, at scale, in living data streams across the Library’s physical and digital touchpoints
Data monitoring: Develop approaches to continuously track patterns in metrics
Data analysis: Determine the core drivers underlying experience, satisfaction, and impact across time, location, audience, and at key points in service life cycle
Synthesis with other research: Build bridges between these metrics and the Strategy & Public Impact team’s other data streams, marrying trends and insights from survey responses to patterns of usage (e.g. attendance, borrowing)
Opportunity identification: Make programmatic and policy recommendations to better fulfill unmet patron and community needs
Cross-team communication and partnership: Share trends, insights, and recommendations with program and operational partners across the Library, collaborating on actionable improvements to experience, satisfaction, and impact
In 1 month, the Patron Impact & Satisfaction Researcher will:
Get acquainted with Strategy and Public Impact patron research approaches and our qualitative and quantitative data streams
Learn the organizational structure of the Library, meet our key internal stakeholders, and absorb what we have already learned about our patrons and the communities they come from
Get acquainted with the Library’s mission and current goals of the major divisions of the institution
In 3 months, they will:
Become proficient in our ongoing patron research, existing metrics and key reports, and identify areas of patron experience and library impact for core metric development
Join the team in creating and fielding patron and staff surveys, and drafting reports based on our findings
In 6 months, they will:
Take primary responsibility for survey-based research: from understanding the research questions, through translating them into survey questions and methodologies, and fielding patron and staff surveys, to analyzing and synthesizing the results
Suggest ways of enriching and deepening the findings from qualitative research and surveys with other data streams (e.g., circulation or visits)
Independently prepare reports communicating our findings to various internal and external audiences
Join the team in raising and articulating questions driving our future research agenda
Required Education, Experience & SkillsRequired Education & Certifications
Bachelor’s degree required, a graduate degree in social science or other relevant discipline recommended
2 years of hands-on professional experience - or an equivalent combination of education and work experience - in an applied research role involving survey and metrics development and analysis
