Overview
Description
Maine Health Institute for Research (MHIR) is recruiting a Principal Investigator to bring their research program to MHIR as a Faculty Scientist II (Associate Professor) or Faculty Scientist III (Full Professor). We are interested in a population health researcher whose focus is on social determinants/drivers of health, with preference for an investigator whose work aligns with cancer control or implementation science.
MHIR is situated within Maine Health, the largest hospital system in Maine, and provides opportunities to conduct research beneficial to patient and community populations, particularly among rural populations. Maine Health provides preventive care, diagnosis and treatment to 1.1 million residents in Maine and New Hampshire through providers of primary care and specialty care service lines, including two regional campuses of the Maine Health Cancer Care Network.
CIPHR designs, supports, and conducts innovative research and evaluations to improve population health, focusing on patient-centered outcomes, community partnerships, addressing health disparities, mentoring, implementing and evaluating interventions, and disseminating findings.
This position is based at our Westbrook, ME research offices. Learn more about the Maine Health Institute for Research in this short video.
