Posting Number SP003845P
Position Title Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Division/College WWAMI Medical Education Program
Department Medical Education Program
Location Moscow
Position Overview
Postdoctoral research fellows will join the WWAMI IOURMR research team in assessing and empirically describing the healthcare needs of Idaho communities and the impact of WWAMI’s programs (e.g., ECHO Idaho, NI-AHEC). Postdoctoral fellows will play a role in support currently funded IOURMR initiatives, including ECHO Idaho and NI-AHEC programs to examine the effects of participation on healthcare professionals, and determine the potential benefits of program participation to the Idaho healthcare system, patient communities, and state of Idaho as a whole. The results of the assessments will ideally be used to inform strategies for upscaling the Idaho healthcare workforce and capitalize on opportunities to improve patient care in Idaho. Postdoctoral research fellows will predominately work with IOURMR research team members, led by Dr. Baker, but opportunities exist to work with other Idaho WWAMI students, faculty, and staff, as well as our collaborators from state and federal agencies.
Postdoctoral research fellows will also be responsible for supporting grant development, research design, and report/publication development. In collaboration with IOURMR team members, fellows will conduct and coordinate research efforts and program assessment, produce associated high-impact written products (technical and non-technical), develop external funding proposals, coordinate report dissemination activities, and present research findings. Opportunities for independent work on the development of reports, publications, or funding proposals under the direction of Dr. Baker will also be available. Fellows will develop skills in interdisciplinary research, workflow management, written and oral presentation and communication, creativity and networking, along with meeting facilitation and participation. Fellows will also develop academic teaching and mentoring skills by assisting with the delivery of research methods coursework and providing research support (e.g., data analysis, research design expertise, mentoring) for student and faculty projects in the WWAMI Medical Education program.
