Open Rank Faculty – Assistant Professor, Associate Professor or Professor

The Department of Emergency Medicine is recruiting doctoral-level scientists across the clinical and translational research spectrum, including basic/foundational, clinical, health services, and public health research. This person will serve as a key part of the research team in a School of Medicine clinical and translational research program. The researcher in this position will be appointed to, and build a career at, the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado.

Academic rank will be determined by education, experience, and accomplishments, with opportunities for growth and development. The Department has won national awards for supporting the advancement of women in professor ranks and leadership positions and has structured processes to develop academic professionals from all backgrounds and areas of focus and expertise.

The University of Colorado has a mentoring culture and an extensive infrastructure for education, training, and career development. The successful candidate will have access to multiple learning opportunities and ways to build their research career over time, increasing the impact of their work. A candidate may want to work predominantly in research on a team or build a track record toward more of an independent research career as a team scientist or as a principal investigator or continue to advance their own independent research agenda.

In all cases, in addition to the planned work, the candidate will co-develop a career development plan for their own professional growth.

This position will combine a focus on the Department research team’s existing funded work and also allow opportunities for the candidate to pursue and lead specific new analyses or projects. More senior candidates would be expected to lead more of their research efforts; all candidates will be expected to be collaborative team members.

We seek candidates with excellent training and experience with research using quantitative or qualitative data and appropriate methods. We would especially welcome candidates with some exposure to clinical data, injury/mortality/morbidity data, administrative claims, community epidemiologic data, multivariable models, repeated measures, and longitudinal data. Current project areas include epidemiological studies of clinical interventions and modifiable factors that lead to poor outcomes among injured populations;

prevention and treatment of acute illness; clinical and educational interventions that may improve patient outcomes; dissemination and implementation science; and improving methods to diagnose and treat patients with a variety of injuries and predict specific health outcomes.

Ideal candidates will have some interest or experience in educating and mentoring; obtaining external research funding from federal and philanthropic sources; creating and disseminating products of scholarship including peer-reviewed publications and non-traditional scholarship. Candidates with methodological skills and analytic experience are welcome from all methodological backgrounds, including health services research, behavioral or social sciences, epidemiology, sociology, demography, economics, community psychology, and public health.

Prior research experience in emergency medicine and prior completion of a post‑doctoral fellowship program are desirable but not required.
