Essential Functions
The successful candidate will lead an active, externally funded research program in implementation science, population health, or outcomes research, grounded in strong expertise in statistical methodology and data science. The faculty member is expected to secure and sustain extramural funding from federal agencies (e.g., NIH, AHRQ, CDC, PCORI), state/local agencies, foundations, and other sponsors; publish regularly in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals; and present findings at national and international meetings. The position calls for applying rigorous quantitative and/or qualitative approaches. Methodological expertise may include quantitative methods, qualitative methods, mixed methods, implementation and evaluation frameworks, program evaluation, pragmatic research designs, stakeholder-engaged research, collaboration with interdisciplinary teams, and analysis of large and complex datasets such as electronic health records, claims, registries, and population surveys.
