Job Summary The Dissemination & Implementation Launchpad is seeking an Implementation Scientist to join our nationally influential and dedicated team. The successful candidate will contribute to program growth by providing consultations, leading training programs, and collaborating with researchers on a variety of established and newly funded projects. Responsibilities include consultations on grant development, study execution, and the scale‑up and dissemination of evidence‑based findings. The scientist will take primary responsibility for the qualitative research portfolio and be expected to contribute to training in basic aspects of the methodology while also innovating and developing competency in more advanced and transdisciplinary uses of qualitative methodology (e.g., rigorous mixed methods and Delphi methodologies).
