Research Scientist
Job description
UW faculty and staff also enjoy outstanding benefits, professional growth opportunities and unique resources in an environment noted for diversity, intellectual excitement, artistic pursuits and natural beauty. All of which has allowed the UW to be nationally recognized as a “Great College to Work For” for four consecutive years.
The Department of Global Health has an outstanding opportunity for a Research Scientist.
The Department of Global Health was established in 2007, bridging the schools of Medicine and Public Health, with a mandate to harness the expertise and interdisciplinary power of all UW schools and colleges. Our mission is to improve health for all through research, education, training, and service; to understand and address the causes of disease and health inequities at multiple levels; and to collaborate with partners to develop and sustain locally-led, quality health systems, programs, and policies. Driven by tremendous interest among both students and faculty, the Department has grown explosively to more than 400 graduate students and hundreds more undergraduates. We have more than 380 faculty and 1,000 staff working on projects across 130 countries with our deepest ties in United States, Kenya, Uganda, Peru, Mozambique, India, South Africa, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Nicaragua.
At the Department of Global Health at the University of Washington, diversity is integral to excellence. The Department recognizes that disparities in health around the globe stem from inequity. The Department encourages and supports the multiple identities of staff, faculty and students including, but not limited to, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, language, nationality, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, culture, spiritual practice, geography, mental and physical disability, and age. The Department strives to become a local, national, and international leader in developing and maintaining increased representation and recognition of each of these dimensions of diversity among its faculty, staff, and students.
This position will sit in the Implementation Science Program based in the University of Washington Department of Global Health. Our mission is to develop, and help others apply, evidence about how to get “what works” in health into practice with greater speed, fidelity, efficiency, and relevant coverage. The Research Scientist will provide methodological support across multiple projects as a member of the Implementation Science Program. Specifically, the position includes data collection design, data analysis across a range of research methods, and the writeup of findings from implementation research across a wide range of topical areas (e.g., maternal and child health, communicable and noncommunicable disease, mental health). Projects are supported by the National Institutes of Health and international foundations with a particular interest in the implementation of proven health interventions in low- and middle-income countries and other resource-limited settings.
The scope of these projects varies across quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods implementation research, with a focus on health care delivery models. The position will be a permanent, full-time position on or before August 1, 2023. The Research Scientist will be physically located at the new Hans Rosling Center and will report directly to the Implementation Science Program Director, Dr. Bryan J. Weiner, Professor in the Departments of Global Health and Health Systems and Population Health.
