What is implementation science?

An Implementation Science job focuses on studying and applying methods to promote the adoption, integration, and sustainability of evidence-based practices in real-world settings. Professionals in this field work to bridge the gap between research and practical application by identifying barriers, developing strategies, and evaluating outcomes. These roles are common in healthcare, public health, and social services, where improving effectiveness and efficiency of interventions is critical. Responsibilities may include research, program evaluation, stakeholder engagement, and policy development.

What does an implementation science professional do?

Professionals in Implementation Science commonly design, manage, and evaluate projects that translate research findings into practice across healthcare or community settings. This could include collaborating with clinical teams to pilot new interventions, conducting data analysis to assess outcomes, and producing reports or recommendations for stakeholders. Daily tasks often involve coordinating with multidisciplinary teams, leading training sessions, and ensuring ongoing fidelity to evidence-based models. The role emphasizes both independent research and teamwork, making it dynamic and impactful for those interested in improving systems and outcomes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed for implementation science?

To excel in Implementation Science, a solid background in research methodology, data analysis, and health systems is generally required, often supported by an advanced degree in public health, medicine, or a related field. Experience with statistical software (such as SPSS, R, or SAS), implementation frameworks (like RE-AIM or CFIR), and relevant certifications in evidence-based practice are beneficial. Strong project management, collaboration, and stakeholder engagement skills help set top candidates apart. These skills and qualities enable professionals to effectively translate research into practical interventions and drive sustainable improvements in real-world settings.

How much do implementation scientists make?

Implementation scientists typically earn a median annual salary between $70,000 and $100,000, depending on experience, education, and location. Senior roles or those with specialized skills in research methods and data analysis can earn higher salaries, often exceeding $120,000. Salaries may also vary based on whether they work in academia, healthcare, or government settings.

Job description

The School of Global Health (SGH) at Meharry Medical College invites applications for Assistant or Associate Professor positions in Health Services Research and Implementation Science. We seek innovative scholars who advance population health science, implementation research, and program evaluation-particularly those developing new monitoring, assessment, and evaluation (MAE) frameworks that strengthen the real-world impact of public health and health systems interventions.
SGH is committed to offering a premier, cross-disciplinary educational experience that prepares students to design, implement, and evaluate interventions that improve outcomes across diverse communities and contexts. Faculty in this role will contribute to expanding the School's foundation in implementation science and applied research by developing and applying cutting-edge MAE methodologies that guide data-driven decision-making and measurable impact.
Aligned with SGH's mission to advance health equity, this position offers an opportunity to contribute to a vibrant, collaborative academic environment where innovation in research, evaluation, and community engagement drives measurable improvements in population health outcomes.
Essential Functions (Principal Duties and Job Responsibilities):
  • Design and teach graduate-level courses in population health science, implementation science, evaluation, and applied research methods (typical load: 4 courses/year) such as Implementation Science in Public Health Practice, Program Evaluation and Impact Assessment, or Applied Research Methods in Public Health.
  • Mentor graduate students and junior faculty in research methods, evaluation strategies, and implementation frameworks, including serving on thesis and dissertation committees.
  • Build cross-disciplinary collaborations with clinicians, public health leaders and agencies, community partners, and policymakers to translate implementation and evaluation science into real-world applications, leveraging opportunities for cross-campus collaboration across Meharry's health systems, community partners, and national and global health networks.
  • Lead an externally funded (or fundable) research program while also contributing to existing School of Global Health initiatives.
  • Design and apply innovative evaluation frameworks and implementation strategies for population and community health projects.
  • Integrate robust monitoring, assessment, and evaluation (MAE) processes into research and practice, including establishing baselines, measuring fidelity, and evaluating outcomes.
  • Publish in top-tier peer-reviewed journals, present at national/international conferences, and mentor graduate students in preparing and showcasing their research to elevate the visibility of the School of Global Health.

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required:
  • Demonstrated teaching, scholarship, and potential for extramural funding in health services or implementation science.
  • Expertise in monitoring, assessment, and evaluation methods applicable to population health or program interventions.
  • Commitment to advancing health equity via research, teaching, and mentorship.
  • Ability to demonstrate successful interdisciplinary research collaboration.

Knowledge, Skills, Abilities Preferred:
  • Evidence of funded research or strong funding trajectory.
  • Proficiency in statistical or qualitative analysis software (e.g., SAS, Stata, R, NVivo).
  • Experience leading or evaluating population health programs or systems-level interventions.
  • Track record of mentoring diverse students and fostering inclusive research environments.
  • Demonstrated success in collaborative, interdisciplinary projects.

Education and Experience Required:
  • PhD, DrPH, MD, JD, ScD or equivalent doctoral degree in Health Services Research, Implementation Science, Population Health Science, Epidemiology, or closely related field.
  • Three to five years of relevant experience working in an educational and/or research setting.
