Job Description Summary:
A postdoctoral fellowship is available to enhance research capacity in interventional healthcare delivery research, clinical practice change and mixed-method implementation science.

The Fellow will join a two-state research team, led jointly by Dr. Lee and Bijal Balasubramanian, launching an NCI U01-funded pragmatic trial to enhance primary care practice capacity for cancer survivorship care in federally qualified health centers and other community health clinics serving minoritized, under- and uninsured individuals.

In addition to a record of partnership with state and regional health authorities, our faculty have long-standing collaborations with many community and clinical partners in both urban and rural locations, providing a rich environment for impactful implementation science and community-engaged research. The Department is the academic home for graduate education leading to the MHSA, MPH, MSCR, and PhD. Opportunities for limited teaching are possible.
The Department is home to a newly established, NIH-funded Implementation Science for Equity Center for Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE). Additional collaborating institutional partners based at KUMC include:
