The Department of Medical Social Sciences (MSS) at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (FSM), along with the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center’s Cancer Control and Survivorship research program, seek a full-time Team Scientist at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor. We are seeking outstanding candidates with research interests and expertise in dissemination and implementation (D&I) science, with an emphasis on promoting the uptake of evidence-based, cancer control and survivorship-related health interventions. Candidates’ areas of interest may include, but are not limited to, approaches to designing interventions with an eye towards implementation, hybrid effectiveness-implementation studies, mixed methods contextual inquiry, developing and testing dissemination or implementation strategies in large comparative effectiveness studies, and evaluating real-world implementations using a suite of approaches including observational research and quasi-experimental designs. Candidates should have experience with leading implementation science theories, frameworks, and models, as well as those used in D&I research in the behavioral, communication, or organizational sciences or related fields. They should also have experience using a suite of methods including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches.
The candidate will join a robust transdisciplinary community of dissemination and implementation scientists and other methodologists both within MSS and across FSM and Northwestern Medicine, including the Center on Dissemination and Implementation Science (CDIS) described further below. This hire is part of a new initiative to expand implementation science lines of investigation within the multidisciplinary environment of MSS in partnership with CDIS, Lurie Cancer Center, and across Northwestern Medicine. MSS has a robust community of intervention and implementation scientists. New MSS Chair and CDIS member Dr. Beidas leads a large extramural portfolio focused on leveraging insights from implementation science and behavioral economics to make it easier for clinicians, leaders, and organizations to use best practices to improve the quality and equity of care and enhance health outcomes. She works across areas including cancer, mental health, firearm safety promotion, HIV, and cardiovascular disease and collaborates closely with key stakeholders, including patients, clinicians, health system leaders, payers, and policymakers. Other MSS faculty with implementation science portfolios, all of whom are members of CDIS, includ
