Postdoctoral Position in Socio-technical Factors in Clinical Research Informatics

This is a full-time position for an individual interested in developing research skills related to the human and organizational side of research computing.  A successful candidate could come from the technology side (e.g. informatics or data science) and be interested in increasing their understanding and skills related to the human and organizational issues, or they could come from a more qualitative or organizational side (e.g. health services research, public health, or bioethics) and be interested in strengthening their understand and skills related to technology. The funded fellow will actively participate in ongoing NIH and foundation funded studies.  Current projects include:

• a study of the bioethical issues related to the application of AI to collect research data during clinical encounters; and,
• the development of improved maturity models in clinical research informatics, especially in the area of clinical trials management. 

The fellow will contribute to project development, grant writing, study implementation and management, data analyses and manuscript writing (first- and co-author), and mentoring of undergraduate and graduate students and staff. The fellow will receive guidance in the development of independent research interests and grant proposals. The fellow will be able to take full advantage of training, education, and mentorship opportunities offered through Northwestern University.
