This unique post-doctoral program is located on Indiana University’s Indianapolis campus, which is positioned in the health and life sciences hub for Indiana. Our fellowship program aims to attract individuals who want to make the world better and have the innate interest, scientific acumen, and desire to be surrounded by faculty and staff committed to transforming the public and population health care system in the US. The program prepares Research Scientists to design, implement, and evaluate the impact of information technologies on population health in the context of public health and healthcare delivery organizations. The goal is to provide doctoral training for analytical, methodological, and professional skills needed for informatics-oriented research positions in academia, government, and industry, with a focus on scholarly output and preparation for an independent scientist career. Responsibilities and Opportunities
The following descriptions reflect the role and expectations of the fellowship program in informatics-focused research within public health and healthcare delivery contexts. Selected fellows will engage in NIH-funded research and may participate with one of the Regenstrief Institute centers, including collaboration with the Center for Biomedical Informatics as part of this training program. About the School and Department
About the School and Department:
The mission of FSPH is to cultivate innovative, interdisciplinary, community-engaged education, research and service, and to prepare leaders in public health and health care. Health is defined as the capacity to develop full human potential, not simply the absence of disease. FSPH emphasizes disease prevention and recognizes the interconnectedness of the physical environment and ecosystem with community health. Established in 2012, FSPH is fully accredited by CEPH and offers three PhD programs, an MPH with five concentrations, an MHA program, several graduate degrees, and bachelor’s degrees in Health Services Management and Public Health. Long-standing collaborations exist with entities including the Indiana State Health Department, the Marion County Public Health Department, and various community organizations and industry partners. The Departments
of Epidemiology and Health Policy & Management host these fellows. These departments have a strong track record in NIH-funded research and extramural funding from AHRQ, CDC, RWJF, the Indiana State Department of Health, and the VA; faculty include national and international experts in cancer, genetics, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, nutrition, health policy, health economics, infectious disease reporting, and public health practice. About the Campus
Our School is on the IUPUI campus in Indianapolis, a unique urban campus that is a merger of Indiana University and Purdue University. IUPUI is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion and to advancing learning and working environments that reflect these values. We seek candidates who will enhance representational diversity and contribute to diverse, equitable, and inclusive environments for students, staff, and faculty. IUPUI condemns racism in all forms and has taken an anti-racist stance that moves beyond statements to examine policies, procedures, and practices. We aim to identify individuals who will advance our mission to dismantle racism so that everyone has the opportunity to succeed at IUPUI. Our institution is recognized as a recipient of the Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award from Insight Into Diversity for ten consecutive years. The IUPUI campus is a focal point of health sciences research and education, including the Regenstrief Institute, which focuses on improving quality of care, increasing efficiency of healthcare delivery, preventing medical errors, and enhancing patient safety. Selected candidates will be involved with one of the Institute’s three centers as part of this training program. Community Context
Indianapolis and the surrounding areas offer a high quality of life with access to museums, cultural districts, dining, professional sports, and historic sites. The area provides diverse educational opportunities, affordable living, and easy commutes along with modern amenities such as a remodeled airport and eco-friendly transport options. To Apply
