team.
NEOMED has a focus area in Health Services

We are seeking a social and behavioral science postdoctoral

Health services research is an interdisciplinary field that
examines how organizations, social structures, processes,
technologies, social factors, and personal behaviors influence
access to and quality of care, as well as individual and population
physical and mental health outcomes. We encourage applicants from
disciplines such as social work, psychology, sociology, public
health or related fields, with expertise in at least one
methodological approach often employed in health services research
(e.g., community engaged research, qualitative methods,
quantitative methods, among others).

The postdoctoral fellow will be encouraged to develop an
independent research agenda that fits within the areas of focus of
collaborative partners, including but not limited to: health
services delivery, social drivers of health, implementation
science, medical education and healthcare workforce development,
integrated behavioral health and primary care, and population
health. Findings from this work are expected to advance our
understanding of improving health services and delivery of care for
patients and populations. Evaluating the success of research
obligations will be based on efforts toward publication and grant
funding success.

At our organization, we are committed to fostering a collaborative
and team-oriented environment that is essential to fulfilling our
mission. We believe every employee should feel appreciated, valued,
and empowered. To maintain a supportive organizational culture, we
seek individuals whose values align with our mission and who thrive
