Faculty Position - Department of Epidemiology and Cancer Control, Implementation
American Public Health Association, Washington, District of Columbia, us, 20022
The Department of Epidemiology and Cancer Control at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is recruiting Faculty Members at the FULL, ASSOCIATE or ASSISTANT level as we expand our Department’s mission to conduct implementation science research to complement a well-established research program consisting of highly innovative clinical, biological, and population-health sciences research (both observational and interventional studies) among survivors of childhood cancer.
We seek creative and collaborative scientists with specific expertise and experience in implementation science as we grow and further expand the mission.Our research uses state-of-art approaches to assess and evaluate adverse outcomes and to design interventions to optimize health. Our Department, and associated Cancer Center Programs in the St. Jude Comprehensive Cancer Center, include a diverse team of investigators with expertise in epidemiology/biostatistics, oncology/cardiology/neurology/nursing, genetics/bioinformatics, psychology/neuropsychology, exercise science/rehabilitation, symptoms/patient-reported outcomes, and health behavior/health services research.
There are extensive opportunities for stand-alone implementation science research and integration into existing research activities.Our Department is home to both the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study with over 38,000 childhood cancer survivors diagnosed from 1970-1999 in North America, and the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort with over 6000 clinically assessed childhood cancer survivors treated at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital since 1962. These foundational studies are funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and are unparalleled resources for research, with comprehensive characterizations of cancer treatment exposures/doses, whole genome/whole exome sequencing of germline genomes, patient-reported outcomes, and an extensive array of clinically-, laboratory- and survey-ascertained late effects outcomes and measurements.Our Department encompasses a strong T32 Postdoctoral program, >150 staff members who support maintaining and expanding activities of the two cohort studies and many ongoing R01-equivalent projects which are built on the two cohort studies.Join us in the exciting, rewarding mission of improving lives of childhood cancer survivors through rigorous, cutting-edge research that has strong institutional support and commitment!Successful applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent degree, have at least three years of relevant postgraduate experience, and have a proven track record of research productivity as evidenced through grant funding and peer-reviewed publications.How to Apply:Interested applicants should submit a curriculum vitae AND a 2-3 page summary of research interests
