Brown University: School of Public Health: Health Services, Policy & Practice
Location
Providence, RI
Open Date
Nov 04, 2022
Description
The Department of Health Services, Policy & Practice of the Brown University School of Public Health invite applications for a faculty position in the areas of decision science and health technology assessment at the Assistant, Associate, or full Professor level in the University’s research track.
Applicants’ contributions may involve applied, empirical-methodological (e.g., meta-epidemiological), or fundamental-methodological research (e.g., development and validation of novel quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods).
The above-mentioned areas of interest are meant broadly. For example, “decision science” includes simulation and mathematical modeling, mathematical optimization, uncertainty propagation, sensitivity analysis, preference modeling and elicitation, psychology of decision making, health equity research, economic (e.g., cost effectiveness/benefit, budget impact, or value of information) analysis and related objects of study. All health contexts are of interest, but special consideration is given to (broadly meant) health technology assessment (i.e., assessing the costs and efficacy, effectiveness, or utility of medications, interventions, or policies in medicine and public health).
Applicants’ contributions should include applied, and optionally, methodological research in health decision science. The successful applicant is expected to serve as mentor and trainer for graduate students, trainees, clinical research methodologists, and biostatisticians in the context of research collaborations. The department is especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute, through their research, teaching, and/or service, to the diversity and excellence of the academic community within the School of Public Health and the University.
The successful applicant will conduct health-related research; acquire funding to support the conduct of high-quality research; publish peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and/or books; teach graduate level courses; advise students and serve on their committees, and participate in Center, Department, School, or University committees.
The position will likely be affiliated with the Center for Evidence Synthesis in Health, which is led by TA Trikalinos. The object of study of this center includes methods and applications of evidence synthesis and health decision analysis, broadly meant. More information about Brown’s Center for Evidence Synthesis in Health is available here: http://www.brown.edu/academics/public-health/research/evidence-based-medicine/.

Description
The Department of Health Services, Policy & Practice of the Brown University School of Public Health invite applications for a faculty position in the areas of evidence synthesis, or development of evidence-based policy or guidance at the Assistant, Associate, or full Professor level in the University’s research track.
Applicants’ contributions may involve applied, empirical-methodological (e.g., meta-epidemiological), or fundamental-methodological research (e.g., development and validation of novel quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods).
The above-mentioned areas of interest are meant broadly. For example, “evidence synthesis” includes systematic review or meta-analysis, evidence fusion (synthesis of very different types of information), qualitative synthesis, mathematical modeling, and related objects of study. Evidence synthesis in all health contexts is of interest (e.g., synthesis of laboratory, -omic, epidemiological, clinical data), but special consideration is given to health technology assessment (i.e., assessing the efficacy, effectiveness, or utility of medications, interventions, or policies in medicine and public health). “Development of evidence-based policy or guidance” is also broadly meant and refers to using all practically available and applicable knowledge to inform clinical practice guidelines or public policy development.
Applicants’ contributions should include applied, and optionally, methodological research in evidence synthesis. Relevant methodological research directions include, but are not limited to, statistical, qualitative, or mixed methods for evidence synthesis, empirical meta-epidemiological research, text mining and natural language processing, evidence-based decision making, learning across designs or across data presented at different granularities, and causal inference in evidence synthesis. The department is especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute, through their research, teaching, and/or service, to the diversity and excellence of the academic community within the School of Public Health and the University.
This scientist may serve as a Senior Project Lead at the AHRQ-designated Brown Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC), housed at the Center for Evidence Synthesis in Health. She or he will be assisting the EPC Directors in the day-to-day operation of the EPC and applying for, leading, and conducting systematic review and related projects. The successful applicant is expected to serve as mentor and trainer for other projects at the Center for Evidence Synthesis in Health; mentor others to serve as project leads at the Brown EPC; and mentor/train graduate students, trainees, clinical research methodologists, and biostatisticians.
The position will likely be affiliated with the Center for Evidence Synthesis in Health, which is led by TA Trikalinos. The object of study of this center includes methods and applications of evidence synthesis and health decision analysis, broadly meant.
