Faculty Vacancy Announcement
As a Post-Doctoral Fellow, supports programs in a specialized
discipline by participating in the academic community. This
is a non-tenure track position of limited duration.
Campus Specific Information
This is a
temporary two year position with a possible extension subject
to funding availability.
The CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy (GSPHHP)
seeks to provide a collaborative and accessible environment
for excellence in education, research, and service in public
health, to promote and sustain healthier populations in NYC
and around the world, and to shape policy and practice in
public health for all. The School offers a range of innovative
master's and doctoral degree programs and is accredited by the
Council on Education for Public Health. The School is
consolidating from a consortium across four campuses to a
unified graduate school located in a single building in
Central Harlem.
The central mission of the CUNY Institute for Implementation
Science Research in Population Health (ISRPH), ), within the
Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy, is
dedicated to translating research into sustainable,
cost-effective population-level interventions, strategies,
initiatives, and policies with the potential to improve health
and reduce health disparities at scale around the world. We do
this by understanding biological mechanisms, subtypes and
major drivers of disease, identifying program/service/policy
implementation gaps driving suboptimal health outcomes at the
population level, and by designing and conducting rigorous
experimental and observational studies of the impact of
strategies aimed at improving population health outcomes. We
rigorously assess the effectiveness of these strategies when
implemented at scale. Given that many forces shape population
health, including those outside the health sector (e.g.,
political, economic, sociologic, environmental, demographic),
we seek and generate knowledge, collaboration and expertise to
achieve our mission of improved population health through
better implementation.
The overarching goal of the Institute is to conduct
large-scale research studies on population health and on
intervention implementation in real world settings (i.e.,
outside the research environment). We engage in, foster, and
leverage multidisciplinary collaborations across different
health outcomes and disease types with public sector agencies,
health care organizations, clinical researchers,
community-based organizations, policy makers and other
institutions. Our primary goals are:
- To apply rigorous scientific methods to assess the
effectiveness and impact of interventions, strategies,
initiatives, and policies aimed at improving population health
around the world.
- To conduct research that describes population health
outcomes and improves the understanding of the factors that
can shape/influence them through better implementation.
- To create, support, and leverage successful
multi-disciplinary partnerships across all of CUNY’s colleges,
professional schools, and institutes for cutting edge and
impactful research collaborations at the intersection of
implementation science and population health.
- To provide hands-on research training for masters/doctoral
students and post-doctoral fellows and host visiting scholars
at the intersection of implementation science and population
health.
Reporting to the Executive Director of the ISRPH the
Post-Doctoral Fellow (Visiting Assistant Professor), duties
include but are not limited to:
- Analyze, draft, and publish methods and results papers in
peer-reviewed journals;
- Develop their research agenda, under the guidance of the
Institute Director and the faculty leadership;
- Collaborate with Institute investigators and external
partners on grant proposals and existing projects;
- Contribute to ongoing Institute projects, either as a member
of the analytic or programmatic team, depending on skill and
interest;
- Apply for at least two federal funding opportunities, such

- Perform other duties as assigned.
Qualifications:
Ph.D.
degree in area(s) of expertise or equivalent (Ph.D., Dr.PH,
Sc.D.)
A preferred candidate should have:
- Interest in collaborating on existing research projects in
the ISRPH and conducting effectiveness studies of large-scale
programs/policies as well as research interests that align
well with the themed areas of the ISRPH.
- Any combination of the following: An emerging track record
of first authored publications; experience conducting or
evaluating large scale programmatic or policy initiatives;
experience working with large multi-level datasets; data
visualization expertise; and longitudinal data analysis
experience.
