"OUTCOMES RESEARCH & HEALTH SERVICES"

The University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine’s Department of Internal Medicine is recruiting multiple faculty members as part of a research cluster hire focused on outcomes research and health services. Candidates will be recruited at the level of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor or Professor (clinical, tenure or research track) commensurate with academic record and experience. Successful applicants will be expected to establish and maintain an extramurally funded research program.

The goal of this cluster hire is to increase the number of faculty engaged in outcomes and health services-related research and to increase cross-disciplinary research programs in the Department of Internal Medicine. The cluster hire will specifically focus on recruiting candidates with the following expertise: implementation science, clinical trials, health systems research, data science, informatics or artificial intelligence.

Successful candidates will have research interests related one or more of the divisions of Internal Medicine (i.e., cardiology, endocrinology, hematology/oncology, nephrology, gastroenterology, immunology, infectious disease, general internal medicine, hospital medicine, pulmonology, critical care).

Recruited faculty will have opportunities to collaborate with other faculty in colleges across the university (e.g., Engineering, Liberal Arts, Pharmacy, Public Health) as well as with research groups in the College of Medicine (e.g., the Abboud Cardiovascular Research Center, the Fraternal Order of Eagles Diabetes Research Center, The Institute for Clinical and Translational Science). In addition, recruited faculty will have opportunities to collaborate with faculty affiliated with research groups at the Iowa City Veterans Administration Medical Center (e.g., The Center for Access and Delivery Research and Evaluation, The Office of Rural Health).
