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.
