Job opportunities
Project Coordinator Pharmacoepidemiology C4HDS
The Center of Healthcare Delivery Science (C4HDS) is recruiting a Research Coordinator (RC) to join its team. C4HDS is an academic research center in the Department of Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. The Center’s activities focus on identifying, designing, and rigorously evaluating interventions to improve the quality of health care, with a focus on medication use. Our studies combine techniques from behavioral science, machine learning, and implementation research and incorporate influences from other fields including economics, health policy, biostatistics, epidemiology and clinical medicine. Unlike typical research groups, the Center’s work involves close collaborations between academic researchers and groups that deliver care, administer health insurance benefits and/or develop technologies for improving healthcare. The Center’s largest projects involve “real world” randomized controlled trials that seek to identify simple and scalable strategies for enhancing patient and provider engagement. The design and conduct of these studies must creatively blend rigorous research methods with the operational realities faced by organizations that deliver healthcare.
The RC will be an integral part of the team, managing the implementation of several research protocols, as well as contributing to study start-up processes and monitoring activities. The CRC will function under the direction of the C4HDS Program Manager and/or Executive Director to help with day-to-day management of pragmatic trials and Center activities.
Research Assistant I Pharmacoepidemiology
The Center of Healthcare Delivery Sciences (C4HDS), is an academic research center in the Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. The Center’s activities research uses techniques from behavioral science, implementation research and data science to design and test solutions to improve medication prescribing and long-term adherence for conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. Unlike typical research groups, the Center’s work involves close collaborations between academic researchers and groups that deliver care, administer health insurance benefits and/or develop technologies to improve care. The Center’s largest projects involve “real world” randomized trials that seek identify scalable strategies for changing medication-related behaviors.
C4HDS is looking for a Research Assistant to join its team. This is a unique opportunity for individuals interested in joining a robust academic research Center focused on designing and testing cutting edge care delivery models to improve care and change health care delivery. The C4HDS Research Assistant will report directly to the Center’s Senior Program Manager, Kaitlin Hanken, and its faculty leadership, including C4HDS Executive Director, Dr. Niteesh Choudhry and Associate Director, Dr. Julie Lauffenburger. This individual will be involved in preparation, implementation and coordination of research in addition to tasks related to organizational growth of the Center. A portion of the research at C4HDS is clinical and although work is primarily conducted in an office setting, this position does require patient interaction. Research Assistants typically spend 2-3 years with C4HDS before starting graduate studies or medical school to gain research and healthcare experience.
