Position Summary | The Department of Family Medicine at the University of North Carolina is well-poised to meet the call for more primary care research, as our nation restructures health care to improve the health of our population. The transition to value-based care, addressing health disparities, managing chronic disease, preventive health, and more, will require robust primary care with more investment in primary care research, training, and practice. Our department is committed to addressing the dearth of research that investigates the mechanisms by which primary care works to advance the health of people and populations. Building on the department’s already established reputation for excellence in clinical care and teaching, we will become a leader among family medicine departments in discovery and innovation in primary care. We have a particular interest in studying value-based care, identifying practices—-care delivery models, payment and incentive structures, optimized team structure, integrated behavioral health, workforce configurations, workflows, and data analytics that improve the delivery, quality, safety, accessibility, equity, and affordability of high-quality primary care. All faculty are expected to be good institutional citizens, working as part of the larger team, including with other researchers and clinical faculty, to develop research projects and generate data that aim to improve access, reduce cost, improve quality, and promote efficiency and better health outcomes. You will be asked to participate in all-faculty and research faculty meetings, and you may be asked to attend professional events to assist with program development and building professional relationships. You may also be invited to participate in opportunities for trainee mentorship and teaching in research methods. |
Minimum Education and Experience Requirements | PhD required. Must have research experience in health services research, evaluation of health care interventions, clinical trials, public health, health policy, population health, or a closely related field. |
Preferred Qualifications, Competencies, and Experience | This position is ideal for a researcher interested in working in a vibrant, nationally prominent department to help us achieve greater excellence and impact. Candidates must have demonstrated capacity to work in a highly collaborative manner, maintaining positive and productive relationships within and outside the department, including project funders and clients. |
