The Mayo Clinic Kern Center for the Science of Health Care Delivery is seeking a successful Health Services Researcher to join the team! The position can be located at any of Mayo Clinic’s campuses in Rochester, Minnesota; Phoenix, Arizona; or Jacksonville, Florida.

For more than 150 years, Mayo Clinic has relentlessly pursued solutions to problems in healthcare, seeking continuous improvements in health and healthcare delivery. Our ability to meet this goal stems from the research we conduct — in close alignment with our medical practice — to address patients' unmet needs.

As the only research center fully embedded in the medical practice, the Mayo Clinic Kern Center for the Science of Health Care Delivery is uniquely positioned to advance Mayo Clinic's history of taking a scientific approach to healthcare delivery. In the center, we create and evaluate data-driven solutions that transform the healthcare experience. Our research drives the continuous improvement essential for a learning health system to safely and reliably provide evidence-based, high-quality care.

In the Mayo Clinic Kern Center for the Science of Health Care Delivery, every project is inspired by real-world challenges experienced by Mayo's patients and healthcare professionals. And every solution is designed and tested with an eye to future value.

Bound by a shared dedication to transforming healthcare, the Kern Center's faculty and staff bring unparalleled expertise to every challenge. Our team science approach — a hallmark of Mayo Clinic research — leads to higher value care for Mayo's patients and communities everywhere.

• Artificial intelligence, information technology and human-computer interaction.
• Clinical outcomes evaluation and comparative effectiveness research.
• Economics, cost analysis and healthcare policy.
• Ergonomics, human factors and human-centered design.
• Health services research.
• Industrial, systems and management engineering.
• Knowledge synthesis.
• Qualitative research.
• Statistical modeling, machine learning and data analysis.
• Study design and pragmatic trials.
• Social and behavioral sciences.

Clinical areas that work with the Kern Center leverage our deep knowledge and singular focus to expedite discovery and enhance implementation. Our team supports and leads investigations across Mayo Clinic. For example:

• Some of our team members spend time designing ways to analyze and present vast amounts of de‑identified clinical and administrative data to help clinicians and nurses provide up‑to‑date, individualized care.
• Other center researchers analyze mental and physical workloads, ergonomics, and potential interventions to ensure that surgeons and surgical team members are safe and healthy. This allows the teams to continue to provide the high‑quality surgical care expected at Mayo Clinic.
• We also collaborate to develop, assess and implement new methods of care delivery — such as telehealth specialty care for children with sickle cell disease and virtual nurse care team members — to reduce healthcare disparities and lead to better patient outcomes.

Center faculty and staff share an unwavering commitment to supporting Mayo Clinic's medical practice. We aim to create and sustain a high‑quality, affordable, seamless patient experience, provided by a healthy and happy workforce.

This position is fully funded by the institution and, as such, the selected candidate will be expected to respond to current needs of the clinical practice.

The successful candidate will hold a PhD, or MD/PhD (or equivalent) in Health Services Research or areas related to quantitative analysis of health data. They should demonstrate expertise in informing and evaluating health care interventions using retrospective study designs, including analyses of electronic health records, administrative claims data, pragmatic clinical trials, and comparative effectiveness research. While candidates at all career stages (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor) are welcome to apply, a strong methodological foundation in causal inference and outcomes research, as well as a track record of impactful health services research and team science are essential.
