Translate research findings into actionable recommendations to reduce health disparities.
Engage in project meetings and research activities.
Collaborate with senior faculty to design and conduct epidemiological studies, analyze large datasets using advanced methods, assist with proposal writing, publish in peer‑reviewed journals, and present findings at national or international conferences.
Work with public health experts, oncologists, primary care physicians, cancer survivors, families, and policymakers to develop evidence‑based strategies for reducing health disparities.
Assist the institution’s Health Services Working Group in coordinating concepts and grant proposals and bi‑weekly meetings.
Lead or co‑author manuscript writing.
Lead or co‑author conference presentations.
Assist the PI with grant preparation.
Minimum Education and Training MD or PhD
in a relevant scientific field is required.
Minimum Experience
Minimum 5+ years of substantial prior relevant and productive research experience in clinical/population‑based outcomes and health disparity research.
Experience working in a project‑oriented matrixed team environment.
Proven performance in earlier roles conducting social and/or environmental health research.
Experience in study design methodology, protocol development, study conduct, data analysis, and statistical modeling.
