Postdoctoral Fellow, Digital, Data, and Design Institute - Laboratory for Innovation Science
Harvard University
Details
Posted: 28-Nov-25
Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts
Categories:
Academic/Faculty
Mathematics/Statistics
Internal Number: 15586
School: Harvard Business School
Position Description:
The Digital Data Design (D^3) Institute and the LISH/Data Science & AI Operations Lab seek enthusiastic Postdoctoral Fellows skilled in computer science, statistics, operations research, or related computational fields. As part of an interdisciplinary research team dedicated to advancing management science, the fellows will develop novel quantitative methods at the interface of statistical learning, experimental design, and optimization to address challenges created by the operationalization of AI within partner organizations.
The Postdoctoral Fellows will play a pivotal role within the LISH/Data and Science Operation Lab team, collaborating with Harvard Business School (HBS) and D^3 faculty and researchers to develop methods that underpin modern organizations. A unique aspect of the lab is that it fosters collaborations among operations researchers, statisticians, and computer scientists to overcome the methodological challenges posed by the misalignment between historical methods underpinning modern data science, which were developed for significantly different contexts and applications than current AI-driven business use cases. Postdoctoral Fellows at D^3 will engage in research projects spanning Business Model Transformation, Operating Model Transformation, Organizational and Workforce Transformation, Performance and Metrics, Data Privacy and Transparency, and Societal Impact.
Candidates should bring expertise in areas such as:
- Causal inference and the design and analysis of experiments
- Reinforcement learning and sequential decision-making
- Analysis of complex systems, networks, and large-scale data
- Machine learning, generative AI, NLP, or algorithmic decision systems
Ideal applicants will have a strong background in operations research, statistics, or computer sciences and the ability to work across disciplinary boundaries to generate rigorous, high-impact insights.
There are no teaching obligations for this position.
