Job Description
The successful candidate will join the research team of Dr. Alexander Fiks, Dr. Brian Jenssen and Dr. Stephanie Mayne at The Clinical Futures and PolicyLab at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
Dr. Fiks conducts research in primary care settings locally and nationally to improve pediatric decision making and child health outcomes. His research addresses diverse topics related to primary care including smoking prevention and cessation, immunization, obesity prevention, ADHD/mental health, and medication safety/effectiveness. Dr. Fiks implements and evaluates health information technology based-interventions (e.g., clinical decision support, mHealth, text messaging) through clinical trials, conducts secondary data analyses of large electronic health record and other datasets, conducts cohort studies in primary care practice, and often employs mixed methods.
Dr. Jenssen’s research involves the use of clinical decision support systems and population health management techniques to protect children from secondhand smoke exposure and tobacco use. Current efforts include helping parents quit smoking in clinical settings and clinical and policy research to protect adolescents and youth from e-cigarettes/vaping. More broadly, he focuses on leveraging health information technology to engineer and implement novel approaches and products to improve care for children and their parents.
Dr. Mayne is an epidemiologist whose research focuses on obesity and cardiovascular disease prevention, and how individual, family, and neighborhood-level factors influence health behaviors and outcomes. Her work applies innovative technologies to address these questions.
The open position will involve work in these and related areas with a particular focus on innovation in primary care delivery. The candidate will also join the Possibilities Project, an initiative focused on transforming pediatric primary care to improve care delivery and child/family health and wellness.
